Germination Print
Germination was the center piece for Sons & Daughters. Germination is taking the ideas of the dual pieces and fully merging them to create a diptych. This piece specifically was focused on my growth within the subject. When i finally reached this piece, I had grown in my understanding of the girls being my pride and joy, but i still wanted to highlight that the journey doesn’t automatically leave you when you’ve reached a point of understanding, you just learn to carry it better. The girls in this piece are split in two, showing two subtle emotions, one looking up and one looking forward to look closer towards something. Both carry the slightest smirk and carry different weights on them. The left girl is a bit lighter in weight, has the ability to lift her head and focus on this spinning sphere. The girl on the right has the weight of different homes attached to her and is scarred on the nose. When I was assessing the differences in the two, i realized that this was dualism itself in where I fit in the theme. There's two sides, a version of myself enjoying the solitude as the girl on the left, while she’s focused on her world, and a version of myself who’s jumping between homes in search of a comfortable domestic space with a different version of family, one that doesn’t involve children. The blue mask-like faces are specifically attached are still beyond me. I believe it’s directly the point, a mask to remember that the pain can show up at any moment, and I have to be ready to put a face on to continuously more forward.
