Secrets and Lies

RELIEF SCULPTURE ON PLASTER OF PARIS

"Secrets and Lies"

This releif sculpture shows a of the human nature that resorts to lying and decieving its fellowmen to eihter protect himself or protect something else that he believes to  be even more valuable than the truth. Remember when your parents used tell you that lying is bad? Do you remember the famous sayings such as 'honesty is the best policy' or 'the truth will aet you free'? Well, there's also a saying that 'some secrets are meant to stay secret'. The point of this sculpture is that everyone lies and that some truths are kept either for the better or for the worse.

Cosplay

"Cosplay"

This painting is my very first self portrait on canvas. It was taken off ID picture when I was in first year high school(i just had my hair straighened at that time). About the concept, the clothing that I placed on myself was based off that of Hyuga Hinata of the anime "Naruto". Hinata is a young female ninja of a timid nature but nonetheless can be a strong adversary if provoked. the hand gesture, as seen in the painting, is very common to her. Hinata wears the head protector, that bears the symbol of th etown of Konoha, on her neck like a necklace though it is usually worn on the forehead.
