Gorgeous

I can't believe I finished this. yay. It's for my AP concentration, which is why it's so much more depressing than my normal stuff. My concentration is shades of gray: the moral and physical gray zones that exist between humans and nature. This painting is talking about the gray area of physical beauty. Many people find scaring and disfigurations ugly and off putting. People with damaged bodies are often the target of unnecessary and often cruel attention from society. Personally I find scars really fascinating and beautiful. I think that scars are proof that someone has lived and experienced how hard life can been, and that they made it out alive. This painting tries to approach these variations in opinion concerning perspectives on physical beauty.
