WHAT WILL THEY THINK?

Like caged birds, we live most of our lives with our emotions tethered and not allowed to be set free. We enjoy a certain freedom, but it extends its wings only as far as the harrowing thought 'What will they think?', making us reluctant to follow our own way. It is this concept that I have tried to express using charcoal and collage. The surface I have created with the overlapped paper collages makes a unique color tone and adds depth to the surface, which I feel makes the concept more impacting.
