Feelings you keep to yourself 8 images Created 6 Oct 2022

Everyone among us has feelings both happy and sad. Usually you express them to others who can then share in your joy or comfort you in your sadness. But there are also feelings that you do not express directly. Usually these are feelings at a certain stage of life and they pass with time. But they can also be feelings that have just come through life from dealing with others. Think of heartbreak or feeling trapped in a situation.

  • Do you sometimes feel trapped?  You have everything to be happy yet you feel limited in your abilities. That is my question to the viewer of this work.<br />
<br />
I portray this question by taking a beautiful young woman in a nice dress. She is clearly of well-to-do descent and has inherited from birth that anything is possible in her life. She can reach the highest peaks and, as I elaborate here, explore the heavens together with the birds.<br />
But, and this but have many of us, she is in a cage. This cage can be anything. For example, she cannot go with the partner she loves. She may be under constant social pressure. She also, like many women, can never break through the glass ceiling that man-centered society has placed over her.<br />
<br />
It really can be anything that makes you feel confined as if in a cage. A cage, in this case a bird cage, around which birds fly lustily in the air. Read a cage in which you sit and around which everyone else is just doing their thing and which you think is not limited in their abilities.

  • Sadly, a girl looks through the window. It is clearly night and raining. She is despondent because her lover has just left her and she longs for him. In the reflection in her window, you can see what she is looking at it is at him, her lover who lives across the street.<br />
<br />
Will he ever come back to her? What has gone wrong? We don't find out but what we do know is that we have all experienced this at one time or another.<br />
<br />
Lying can be awful sometimes because no matter how you turn it takes up all of our feelings.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the butterflies in her stomach will return soon and she can enjoy life on a pink cloud again.

  • When you are in love you have passion for someone else but especially in the beginning of your crush you don't know if it will be reciprocated. As long as you don't know if your beloved feels the same as you do you are stuck with a lonely passion and that feels terrible.<br />
This is what I want to portray with this work. <br />
You see a young woman, neatly made up, at a window in which several reflections can be seen.  Her face can be seen partially behind a reflection. This reflection of a roof, seen through a window, is the representation of the outside world from which she has shut herself out. The young woman senses that behind her is the reflection of her lover and she looks back with suspicion. She is clearly uncertain.<br />
<br />
The raindrops on the glass of the window indicate that she is sad, but the drops are clearly drying up. Is her passion, her ardor going to be answered?<br />
<br />
That is the question she would so like to see answered.

  • With this portrait of a beautiful young woman who looks obviously healthy, I wish to express the feeling that everyone sometimes has about the question: Do I stay in this situation or do I leave?<br />
<br />
The young woman, it could also be a man, stands with her eyes closed thinking. You can see at the top the numbers 1 and 0 appear in a stream, symbolizing our society that is increasingly being directed by computers. At the bottom you can see that her emotional intelligence is bucking. The EQ table goes up as soon as she starts thinking about the issue. <br />
On the left you see, what we all know, the boarding info you put on at every airport; There is a listing of destinations and on the one hand you see that you are allowed to board but on the other hand you also see that this is not allowed.<br />
<br />
What she is going to do we don't find out, which is also not the intention. This work is meant to make you the viewer think.

  • Lost in thought, this woman thinks about what is actually required of her by men.<br />
Like in a movie, note the shadows of a roll of film at the top, she thinks about her desire to go left while men invariably go right. This thought is symbolized by the red arrow at the top contrasted with the arrow below the word "men" is written.<br />
<br />
I portrayed the woman in a grainy black and white to emphasize the cinematic nature of the work.<br />
I executed the arrows and the word men as a neon advertisement like you see a lot. <br />
<br />
I based the work on art style introduced by the "nouvelle vague" combined with elements from the movie Taxi Driver.<br />
<br />
The result I wish to achieve is a portrait of what many women feel.... What do men really want?

  • Suddenly it happens to you, you are in love. At the same time, doubt strikes because what does the person you're in love with feel about you? That's what falling in love does to you, besides having butterflies in your stomach and only paying attention to the other person. You don't doubt your consequences but the thought that your love will remain unrequited makes you anxious.<br />
This is the feeling I want to portray with this work.<br />
You see a beautiful girl who really has everything to be happy. She is standing at a window with her eyes closed and her hand near her mouth. She is clearly thinking, she is hesitating.<br />
In the reflection of the window you can see the outside world from which she has closed herself off. She lives only in her thought world. Perhaps her lover is on the other side of the window down the street and she is watching him or her? Who knows, maybe they are in the same room?<br />
<br />
Who knows, who knows?

  • Silently she stands at the window looking out. In the reflection of the window you can see what is going on across the street. Her lover is also at the window and she tries to catch a glimpse of him or her.<br />
Are they looking at each other.... probably not because she is looking in despair. She is clearly lost in thought as she looks at her beloved.<br />
<br />
Is her love not yet reciprocated or is she doubting it. She is clearly a beautiful woman who has everything to be confident in life.<br />
Yet her hand in front of her mouth and the look in her eyes betray that she is not so confident of what is happening in her love world.<br />
<br />
Love does that to us all, you live confidently in your own world but when that world can suddenly be pierced, doubt strikes inexorably

  • You look out the window of your house and you see a girl walking barefoot in the rain.<br />
She looks oppressed with her hand near her face. The girl is in a short skirt clearly not dressed for this inclement weather and slowly she steps forward slowly. What is going on here. She is a beautiful girl who will surely get attention from many boys. Has something gone wrong with a boyfriend of hers. That must be the case because a girl like that doesn't just walk through the pouring rain.<br />
<br />
Yes love can be cruel. It's nice to have butterflies in your stomach and live on a pink cloud; but love has to come from both sides. If it doesn't then there is always sadness. Grief from a love gone wrong can be heartbreaking and probably you have experienced it yourself.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the girl will find her love again.
