SEQUITUR

This project adopted a very intense process of painting the two most recognized symbols, man and woman. My main intention was to make it look horrifying and mystical and complacent. I incorporated dark ink using thick brush strokes, and decided not to fill in their eyes in order for them to look impersonal.

I wanted to show that the world is not just man and woman and if one thinks so they are horribly mistaken. I must reiterate the word horribly, because the people who don’t fall under dichotomy of people’s perceptions of things are treated that way, and that has to change. The complacency that we have over thinking that there is only man and woman, birth and death, black and white, heads and shoulders (?), will only end up devouring ourselves and society as a whole.
