visual art analysis
omg-Christ
1. The famous Filipino artist Ernest Concepcion earned his bachelor’s degree in fine arts
from UP Diliman. He is known for creating landscapes using caricature warfare. He has
a hundred-series of drawings called “line wars” that are juxtapositions or putting two
things together with a contrasting effect.
He lived abroad for a long time and took part in numerous art residencies. He also reached the
New York Foundation for the Arts finals. He is also a nominee for the Joan Mitchell
Foundation’s Painters and Sculptors Grant.
His art, “OMG-Christ,” is a form of pop art, and a symbolism.
(https://www.artsy.net/artist/ernest-concepcion)
2. Ernest Concepcion conveys a message to us with the word “Oh, my God!” that is
usually used as an expression when we are surprised, angry, disappointed, and so on.
The artist shows a picture of Christ with a facial expression like He is the one being
surprised by people saying “OMG.”
(https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/university-of-mindanao/art-appreciation/omg-
christ/34996896)ts
3. In my perspective, I think the art shows how Christ reacted, as people often use the
“OMG” term. The Ten Commandments state, “Thou shalt not use God’s name in vain,”
which means we should not use His holy name if it is meaningless, makes no sense, or
does not bring glory to Him. Furthermore, I believe that Christ expresses
disappointment in this work of art by having His name used merely as an expression.

The Boy Outside My Studio
Elmer Borlongan (2005)
He grow up in Mandaluyong but now he settled in Zambales, and his father encouraged him to pursuits for being an artist in a very young age that’s why he became an artist in a very young age. Elmer Borongan’s style in making visual arts is expressionism because every place he lived was all about his experience; he made art there and showed what he experience that day that he saw in that place. Now that they are moving somewhere else, he wants to experience and encounter other people in an environment where he can see what’s happening in other places. So all his experience is shown through the arts.
The message of the art for me in personally is that we knoe how to be generous, especially to our siblings, no matter what it is, and it’s not just about giving: it’s also about loving and helping siblings, because I remember what my parents always tell us. I know that you are the only ones who will help each other as siblings, so you should appreciate each other. Here is can be shown how important it is to be a good and giving because you can also do it fot others, especially to people whoi need help with things like food, clothes and anything else they need, like people who live on the streets. We can help them in this way by sharing what we have and also with the people around us. Let’s learn to share what we have because tha person who gives is more blessed, so we will also appreciate what is given to us. In political aspects, they should help those who need their help the most and pay more attention to the people who live on the streets, provide for their needs, and give them jobs so that they can learn and have a source of income for their family and so that they no longer roam the streets.
For me, that art is showing me that siblings should help each other and share whatver they have with each other so that you are not only one who has and experiences those things, and in that art, there is a lot I realize that sometimes we don’t get along as siblings, but we still don’t lose helping and giving to each other.

Dex Fernandez is the artist behind the rounded, many legged "Garapata" character taking over cities across the world in the form of stickers and street art. Inspired by the infestation of ticks that explored his childhood home (brought in by his pet dogs), Fernandez's surreal Garapata pieces now explore urban areas around the globe, making art more accessible to people on everyday commutes. He has collaborated with Kalsada in designing our new, limited edition coffee bags for the Harana Blend. This week, we sat down with him for an exclusive interview regarding the inspirations behind Garapata.Dex Fernandez is an interdisciplinary graffiti artist whose eccentric designs and neon-colored installations challenge the notions of high and low art. Based in the Philippines, Fernandez is best known for his iconic street art character “Garapata,” which is the Tagalog word for “tick.” Images of the creature’s multi-legged head are plastered in public spaces throughout the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan. Influenced by the Pop art, Andy Warhol and KeithHaring, Fernandez has translated his street art style into psychedelic portraits made by layering acrylic paint and thread on top of digital photographs. His works have been exhibited in Paris, New York, Tokyo, and at the Singapore Biennale in 2016. Fernandez studied Fine Art and Advertising at the Technological University of the Philippines; he is the recipient of multiple international residencies in Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan, and through the Asian Cultural Council in New York in 2014.
GARAPATA
Dex Fernandez's art is informed by everyday experiences and the people he meets and encounters. He sees his art as a means to trigger an audience into thinking about social and political issues around them. Often, he uses elements of fun and humor as satire to open up critical reflections on pressing issues. He is best known as the creator of Garapata, a character resembling a multiple-legged head. The name translates to the Filipino word for tick or flea from which the character is based. He conceptualized the Garapata as an embodiment of the resiliency of the Filipino people.
He studied Fine Arts at the Technological University of the Philippines and first worked as a graphic artist and a muralist abroad before becoming a full time artist upon his return to the Philippines in 2007. Years of experience in the advertising industry is evident in his art known for its pop imagery. A multimedia artist, he works on a variety of media which include drawing, painting, murals, posters, and graffiti. He was one of the recipients of the Thirteen Artists Award of the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2013.

Planting Rice [Fernando Amorsolo]
The Philippine artist Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972) was a portraitist and painter of rural landscapes. He is best known for his craftsmanship and mastery in the use of light.
the use of light—actually, backlight—which is his greatest contribution to Philippine painting. I would say that this painting has a relationship with Amorsolo. His works usually depict people and barrio scenes of the Philippines. Those paintings of the nationalistic, the true character, smiles, emotions or feelings and spirits of the Filipino people which say something about his creations that fall in the same classification. “His optimistic, pastoral images set the tone for Philippine painting before World War II. Except for his darker World War II-era paintings, Amorsolo painted quiet and peaceful scenes throughout his career. Amorsolo is best known for his illuminated landscapes, which often portrayed traditional Filipino customs, culture, fiestas and occupations. His pastoral works presented “an imagined sense of nationhood in counterpoint to American colonial rule” and were important to the formation of Filipino national identity.” (Wikipedia) Therefore, Amorsolo painted a peaceful painting such as planting rice to get back to his usual expression using the light technique of painting. He also spent his childhood in the province of Camarines Norte in which I believe affected the subject matter of his paintings as provincial, tropical etc. He is also soft-spoken and his works tell a little bit of himself as he puts himself in the painting depicting a peaceful life, quietly doing his job as a source of living (painting and farming).
The message of this painting is a representational art as it portrays something other than its form. This painting falls under the classification of painting as Genre painting as it is painted in the contemporary life of the Filipino farmers in 1951, when it was painted, as they are engaged in their regular every-day occupation and activities. Behind the workers, a farmer with carabao plows. In the background is a cluster of nipa huts along the thick accumulation of trees and weeds. The central grouping of lush trees and hills provides an idyllic setting for the workers besides a mountain view or background. I think this painting basically captures the traditional Filipino occupation of the farm life of men and women on a hot sunny day. It depicts how enduring they are and how the farmers work together. It portrays a provincial setting in which the farmers wear traditional clothes for farming in the 1950s and captures that fashion as I think if a modern artist would draw with a similar subject, women farmers will not be wearing skirts or the traditional look of women back then as time has changed. The painting is very Filipino with respect to the subject matter. The subject matter itself defines the aesthetic qualities of this painting relating it to the period in which it is created to appreciate more its overall beauty.

still life
Artist Neil Pasilan continues to find inspiration from daily life, transforming everyday encounters into romantic imagery in his latest one-man exhibit, titled Still Life. Pasilan’s subjects are not strictly inanimate objects as the title might suggest, but they are mostly people who made an impact in his life. There is “Sumpaan,” in which a couple is exchanging wedding vows while submerged in water. It was loosely inspired by an actual wedding that was held when super-typhoon Yolanda hit the Visayas region late last year. In the background are shanties commonly seen near coastal areas, where waters rise every time there is a huge storm. “Family Bonding” recalls Pasilan’s fondness for his family, while “Dog in the Backyard” and “Bird in the Rainy Season” reveal the artist’s strong affection for animals. “Maliwanag ang Puso at Isipan” depicts a person’s clarity of mind and heart. His heart is literally glowing, and he has a lit candle on his head, symbolizing enlightenment. For Pasilan, this is what having a “still life” is all about, a serene disposition that is free from doubt and negativity.
In my opinion and my understanding of what he wanted to convey in his painting and in his latest one-man show, Still Life continues to draw inspiration from regular experiences and transform them into beautiful pictures in still life, Artist Neil Pasilan continues to find inspiration from everyday life and turning everyday encounters into romantic images in his latest one-man exhibit Still Life.
My interpretation of Neil pasilan work is that I understand it easily and it gave me a deeper understanding of neil’s emotions as he painted it and the “Sumpaan’ of the couples who exchange wedding vows while they are in the water and this is one that had a super typhoon-Yolanda and because of the typhoon there was so many people were damaged and hurt.

ELMER BORLONGAN (1993)
BROTHER’S SHARE (Hating Kapatid)
In street and colloquial parlance, the term hating kapatid means an equal share among those who need the same thing, whether it is an object to be borrowed, or food to be shared or space to be occupied. Elmer Borlongan, having been born and raised in Manila’s urban inner cities, knows to observe how this concept operates in the everyday life of the Filipino. In this painting he represents two children sharing a bench as a bed to sleep on, each curling up to make use of the space they can share, equally of course, making the most of what they can, even in the very inches of a wooden board. As it is evident in many of his works in the 1990’s, Borlongan’s portrayal is one of amused hilarity over the sheer ingenuity of Filipino resilience. While this work shows the problem of a lack of proper shelter, it does not take away from us the humor of its absurdity and the equally surprising mirth of its solutions.
My understanding of what he wanted to convey in his art, It displays the possible state of existence for us in the near future. It is conceivable for us to suffer scarcity and poverty in our lives, therefore we should keep in mind that we have family and siblings to whom we may turn for assistance and support while making decisions in life.

ESTRELLA, RICH ANNE
My personal interpretation of this kind of art is a huge and deep meaningful art work, because my personal experience about this art is a same, in Covid-19 crisis I decide to stop schooling for my safety and ofcourse go to applying any kind of job to support my financial problems and the “How we slowly into stranger” remind me all memories during pandemic because some of my friends are slowly losing but i understand them because they have own process to how to save a life and I think this art is a powerful inspiration to all people who appreciate this kind of art why? Because it’s helping us how to understand other people problems to fight their own secret battle in life, sometimes all we need is the art to express our feelings and they understand our personality.
GASCON, RENZ JERHOIE
as the hours pass
During Covid-19 crisis all of us are suffering how to manage our time to continue our day to day process.
Renato Barja Jr. and his painting it’s called “How we slowly into stranger” is related by his own personality and how to people in pandemic situation how to affect us, most of us are suffering to time management and how do we do for living and how to survive ourselves to provides all we need, Renato Barja Jr. Is a painter who paint the birdhouse box to remind us during pandemic our family, friends, classmates or batchmates, suddenly they become to stranger, Renato Barja Jr. Had a huge time to self isolation for and he experience the emotions of emptiness and feeling lonely during that time.
The “How we slowly into stranger” is about to all people suffering to lockdown all over the world. Because most of people getting to isolation process is a lack of opportunities what happen to outside world, some people get a self isolation process is a waste of time for some of us because the opportunity of being unprivileged person is problem to people who experience a poor quality of life, that’s why most of us are suffering to any kind of mental problems.
FERNANDO AMORSOLO y CUETO
Fernando Amorsolo was born on May 30, 1892, in Manila's Paco district. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice to the renowned Philippine artist Fabian de la Rosa, his mother's first cousin. Amorsolo’s first success as a young painter came in 1908, when his painting Leyendo el periodico took second place at the Bazaar Escolta. Between 1909 and 1914, Amorsolo enrolled at the Liceo de Manila, and then entered the University of the Philippines school of fine arts, graduating in 1914. He studied at the Escuela de San Fernando in Madrid after working three years as a commercial artist and part-time university instructor. He sketched in museums and on the streets of Madrid for seven months, experimenting with light and color. And I think that Fernando Amorsolo's artworks would like us to not to forget the traditions in doing some things that fed us. His artwork reveals a beautiful image for the activities we are accustomed to. Another is that it gives a good image that when the modern generation sees it they will learn something and they will know. where everything comes from.

tagpuan
Moira Dela Torre
Malaya
Year 2018
Moira was a famous singer and songwriter because of her distinct genre. Every song that she released
had a lot of viewers and comments from netizens, especially the younger generation nowadays. Her songs are always based on her love and life experiences. One of the songs she released that trended was “Tagpuan.” This was her last song in her album “Malaya” she dedicated this song to Jayson Marvin, her husband.
The song “Tagpuan” was about perseverance and braveness that will bring hope to us, and also that God can make everything that messed up into a beautiful one. In the first stanza of her song, she expresses that as she prayed there are so many whys she had. But despite her prayer full of whys, there is a person whom the Lord has reserved for her, whose prayer is she.
And on the second stanza of her song, it shows here how unbelievable the power of prayer was, that
even the things that are not good in our eyes, can be change by God into the good one. That despite what we feel wrong, what we experienced that was so bad, God can make it right and beautiful in amazing way.
As I listen and analyze the song, it reminds me that we just need to persevere in prayer and everythingt hat seems mess in our lives can turn into beautiful one. And even our lives are messed up there are
people on the other side that prays the best for us, and also God has prepare someone for us that will
come for a reason.

AYAw
Syd Hartha
Ayaw
Year 2019
This song is about those who experience physical, emotional and sexual violence or abuse from their
partners and husbands. Syd hartha stands for women’s rights and strongly stands against sexual
harassment by using music she express her emotions and true experience to this song.
When I listened to this song, I get goosebumps because the way he sings is really different like I feel
sadness and angry to this song. I feel the true emotions and feelings in this song, but that’s not all,
because once I read the lyrics, the message that the artist is conveying is great. For me , the message of
this song, especially for men, is to respect and appreciate women, especially in things or situation that
they don’t like. Especially in forcing what men want and need, which is wrong, so that’s what makes me
angry with other men. It’s okay for them to hurt women and won’t respect just because of their useless
needs, so other women are afraid to like and fall in love with men because of the sexual harassment.
Physical and emotional abuse that happen in our country. Because of this song and many things I
realized, like don’t immediately trust other men and let’s get know them well before we let them into
our lives, we don’t get hurt and harred sexually, physically and emotionally because they don’t deserve
it. Women also don’t deserve all things they experience with their partners that are not good, so what
the song says is stop hurting and sexually harrasing women.

Gloc9 ft. Jeazell Grutas
Matrikula
Year 2009
Music for me is the best thing in the world, as wherever you go there will be different kinds of songs
and music to be heard and it’s a really beautiful thing because there’s unity in music, no matter what
kind of music it is, music is music.
Gloc-9 is a professional rapper and a singer songwriter, and is widely known as the Philippines
greatest rapper of all time, his fast-flowing vocal style has made him one of the best-selling and most
successful artists in the Philippines.
The song Upuan had made great impact especially during the election time as the song simbolizes
the leaders who were sitting in the chair of the highest rank in our country and that is the President
seat. We had leaders who gave no care to the citizens that are under the poverty line, where they were
not given the things they needed that were promised to them by those running leaders before they
were elected to the positions they have right now. Some Politicians are corrupting the funds that were
supposed to be for the people who truly need it, the ones who have actually nothing to eat on their
plates and even nothing to drink to help them survive their daily lives.
I’m going to admit that during the 2022 election, I voted for someone whom I regret voting for since
that person had done nothing that’s worth being proud of, and had done nothing but to agree on a lot
of topics on the senate without even thinking about it thoroughly.
I pray that on the next election, may we all think about everything before voting for someone just
because they are on the group of politicians who have a great amount of supporters and may we have
our own time to use to figure out if the person we are about to vote worthy of the position that they are
running for.

araw-araw
Ben and Ben
Limasawa Street
Year 2019
“Araw-Araw” is a song by Filipino folk-pop band Ben & Ben, composed by lead vocalists Miguel
Benjamin Guico and Paolo Benjamin Guico. It was released alongside “Pagtingin” on May 2, 2019.[1][2]
This song was used as the theme song of the film LSS (Last Song Syndrome) released in 2019 under
Globe Studios, to which it went on to win the 2019 Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino Award for Best Original
Song.
I have been a fan of the band Ben & Ben since I first heard their song called “Araw-Araw” . I started
listening to their songs because it captured my heart. “Araw-Araw’ is a song about truly loving someone,
dahil ‘pag mahal mo talaga ang isang tao pipiliin mo siya in that person’s imperfection at pipiliin mo siya
araw-araw,’ vocalist and guitarist Miguel Guico shares. This is the line that took my heart to become a
fan of Ben & Ben. I listened to that song over and over again until I understood it and what it was trying
to convey to the people who were listening.I gradually understand it as I play it on a regular basis.
The day has come. I finally understand why Ben & Ben chose the line “Pipiliin ka sa araw-araw” over
“Mamahalin kita sa araw-araw”. Perhaps because love cannot be guaranteed every day. The intensity,
kilig, and purity of love will never be the same every day, but I will always choose you. Even if I don’t
love you every day, I will choose you through our ups and downs.There are times when we wonder if
there is anyone who will choose us every day despite our flaws. There are also times when we no longer
believe that there is someone out there who is willing to choose us every day because of our previous
relationships. But keep in mind that there will come a time when someone will be ready to accompany
us until the end; we will be ready to empathize and accept our flaws in life. Above everything, someone
will come every single day to choose us.
The only thing I can say is that we should not take things lightly, especially when it comes to love.
Because love will come to you at the right time and at the right place. Right now, let us concentrate on
those who are close to us, such as our friends, family, and, most importantly, God. Let us also remember
that God will look after us. Because God stated in Isaiah 60:22, “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will
make it happen,” let us also wait for the person whom God will bring into our lives.

Up Dhrama Down
Capacities
Year 2012
The Up Dharma Down song “Tadhana” is one of the most well-known Filipino songs in recent memory.
The song’s lyrics are about a failed relationship, and the vocalist is reflecting on what went wrong.
Several literary techniques are employed in the song to assist the listener understand the singer’s
feelings. A vivid image of the singer’s emotions is helped by the use of metaphors, such as comparing
the relationship to a “forest” and the break-up to a “thunderstorm,” and personification, as in the
phrase “Kung di man ngayon, kailan pa?”
Overall, “Tadhana’s” lyrics do a great job of expressing the singer’s feelings of sadness and loss. The
lyrics are able to portray the singer’s experience in a way that is both relevant and affecting thanks to
the usage of literary tropes.a

I love to listen music to any genre when it comes to music especially when it sounds good to my ears, I
play it all over again.
Wayback 2019 the band Ben and ben released a album “Limasawa Street” and one of the tracks on the
album is the song that I choose and is based on a true story, this song is inspired by fan about hiding
he’s feelings for her best friend in almost 8 years. Ben and ben titled the song “Pag tingin”
“Pag tingin” is for the people who keep their feelings from one person, either they are not ready yet or
they are afraid of being rejected.
But it’s okay to be rejected cause rejection is better than regretting. It’s better to confess your feelings
to him and tell him that you like him instead of regretting it.
The song is also for people who are afraid to say, they can use this song for motivation.
“Pag nilahad and damdamin sana’y di mag bago ang pag tingin” to those who get the wrong impression
admittedly failed.
“Iibig lang kapag handa na, hindi nalang kung trip trip lang naman” this line speaks volume it’s true to
love when you’re ready. Especially for young people, I hope they can listen to this song for their future.
This song is really appreciated, best song ever.

itanong mo sa mga bata
Asin
Asin
Year 1978
Itanong mo sa mga bata by asin is one on the best song since year 1978 because the song is meaningful
to all people who listening this song, Asin band is one of the papular band in decades 70’s because they
all music is reality about what really happened in the Philippines. And ‘itanong mo sa mga bata’ meaning
is about to all human existence, being adult stage is very different than being kids because we are taking
many responsibilities unlike kids they do what they want.
The message of ‘Itanong mo sa mga bata’ is very deep to all of us because they teach us how to live in
the present day, if you’re tire of being adult who took all responsibility in your family to support them,
this song is remind us how to be genuinely happy you should go to all beautiful places in our country to
release,
Your all problem like being kids they always want to go outside and explore the real world they knew,
most of kids is very important to us and because being kids is a part of being human, sometimes we
imagine about our pass and crying about our existence then asking ourselves why people suffering all
problem, na kung saan na sabi sa lyrics ‘ikaw ba ay isang mayaman o ikaw ay isang mahirap lang, sino sa
inyong dalawa ang mas nahihirapan’ this message is about to all human existence suffering they own
process in our life, all people can suffer what kind of problem they have and how to surviving.
To all people who suffering this kind of problem is very strong person because they barely surviving and
keep fighting to achieve their goals in life, someday we are living in our dreams in life, all we need to do
is focus to our goals and pursuit the real happiness and one of the best thing can do is teach yourself

PAUbaya
Moira Dela Torre
Patawad
Year 2020
Music is one of my favorite forms of art. It relieves my problems and provides me with peace of mind. I feel like the only human being on earth when I put on my earphones and listen to my favorite song, far away from the toxic society. Even though I am not the artist, music helps me realize my mistakes in life. Their songs convey their message to me. Moira Rachelle Bustamante Cruzado Dela Torre-Hernández is a Filipino singer-songwriter who rose to fame for her covers of “Sundo” by Imago, Moonstar88’s ‘Torete’ and Himig Handog’s winning single ‘Titibo-tibo’. In February 2018, her first “Tagpuan” concert was sold out in four days on its first day. Because of public demand, the concert had a second night. That year, she became the number one most streamed artist on Spotify in the Philippines. In 2019, she became one of the judges on Idol Philippines, and she performed her second major concert at the Araneta Coliseum titled “Braver”.
One of her most heartbreaking songs is “Paubaya.” On October 23, 2022, everyone was in tears because of this song. Even though you’re not broken, you’ll feel that you’re breaking up with your partner. It was absolutely heartbreaking for everyone, not only because of its painful message but also because of the people involved. The well-known love team JoshLia is one of them, and that gives excitement to every one of their fans. Also, it is observed that six of the eleven minutes that the music video lasts were dedicated to a scene of “closure” in their relationship that is undoubtedly raw and heartbreaking, and for which the dialogue was co-written by both of them.
Paubaya means letting go of someone.. The song itself is about accepting that an ex-partner has found happiness with another person and just like the meaning of its name “Paubaya”, the song highlights the importance of forgiving, letting go and letting go of these feelings. “Lahat ay binigay nang mapangiti ka lang “ “Ba’t di ko nakita na ayaw mo na?”Ako ang kasama, pero hanap mo siya” This is one of the most painful lines because, even though you are with the person you love,and you’ve given everything for him but it’s still not enough and he is still looking for the person who truly completes him. The feeling of having strong emotions for someone and discovering that this person doesn’t feel the same for us is an experience that can make us feel pain and grief. “Mahirap labanan ang tinadhana” “Pinapaubaya, pinapaubaya” “Pinapaubaya ko na sa kanya”. This is the most painful part of life when you have to give up something even if it means a lot to you especially
if it’s someone you love that you have to give up to make him happy. Also, that feeling of you’ve already build your future with him but the saddest truth is you’re not meant to be.
Further, this song is also about forbidden love, where you love someone but you cannot force him to
you love back and demands something that he cannot give. Probably you can’t do something but to let
him go and let him be with someone who can make him happy. Sometimes, seeing your love one happy
and contended even with another person is a wonderful feeling, but it can see to your eyes that it gives
pain to your heart. Maybe this is not the right time for you but God has plan for you.

SOUL- MAKING ART
I have been eager to see the finished product of my work ever since I learned how to draw charcoal portraits. I also made material investments in order to continually develop. When I first started out in this medium, I basically trained with any references I could find. But now, anytime I encounter references that generate the same emotions in me, I want to sketch them.
When we are assigned a task, I look for resources on Pinterest, and I came across this one. and it was the same feelings that led me to decide to do this.
Being a working student exhausts me; it's tiring, draining, and sacrificial at the same time. Because you must work in your youth, you will miss many occasions and gatherings because you have other responsibilities. You must make sacrifices now for the sake of tomorrow.

I paint this because when I'm not okay or when I want to be alone, this is where I always want to go, and this painting represents who I really am because I'm the type of person who is quiet and wants to be alone.

Dear anxiety and depression Please tell me why you're the most painful kind of lesson After experiencing heartbreaks and heartache Why does it feel heavy from all the steps that i take And I've been screaming, crying And i can't let anyone seeing How I'm slowly dying, inside My heart breaks and my eyes full of tears And i try to explain what i feel to those people that i've known for years Why do i feel like they're not listening to me even if they say that i'm here and i'm all ears A wake-up sheets bottle of sweat I had nightmares and i get back into bed It's like this voices i here just keeps playing on repeat in the back of my head I'm 20 years old and i hate the quietness of home Because that's when the voices gets the loudest Opening up like this on a letter is a moment far from my proudest But these demons keeps pressing me i swear them in the foul list But i've grown comfortable with their presence My condition is calloused My dreams are their playground, my thoughts are there palace I tried to evict them but they returned with more My body in mind feel so sore December was the first time that i had a panic attack and had no one to turn to Because the month before that was the day that i lost the woman that i'm willing to give my all to No matter how hard i tried, i begged and pleaded What it turns out i'm no longer the guy should love in needed Mom, i'm sorry if i watch loud videos on youtube, but come on I explain to you why i'm doing that, because it helps me feel like all of my problems are gone I think all of those people that helped and was there for me But this is a patent i needed to face alone anxiety, depression and me People tell me to talk about, and the church said to pray But all i needed for someone to say hey, are you okay, i'm here for you i'm here for you, just message me anytime you want, night or day I fell down and got back up So give me a torch and light that up
This was my spoken word poetry, I created this spoken word poetry to express what I feel through a letter, I can hardly express what I feel just on the way of talking but with this poetry I can partially explain what I truly feel mostly everyday. To me a spoken word poetry is one of the best way to express a persons true feelings without the pressure of anyone to interrupt you during the self explanation of feelings.
The first time I created a spoken word poetry made me feel so good after expressing all of my thoughts and feelings through the people that I wanted to listen to me and that's the reason why this is my soul making art.

This is what I danced to because it's relevant to our daily lives. In our church, I perform dances, and this is one of them. It talks about how even after we reject him, the Lord still loves us. Even when we disobey, God's love remains with us. When I performed the choreography, I had a greater understanding of what the song wanted me to comprehend the most. that we should acknowledge or receive God's love because we won't look back. Since I embraced God's love, I have a desire to continue serving him and am drawing nearer to him, especially in his presence. Because of him, it seems that all of my difficult emotions have been eased, all of my obstacles have been overcome, and my seemingly bleak road has been made clear. Everything is done with God's perfect love, thanks to him. I now continue to dance and serve God, and as I get to know him more over time, my faith in him deepens. I can only conclude that everything will be alright if everyone in the world allows the Lord to work in their lives. All trials will be overcome if people love and accept God with their entire lives.
The ways we can serve God are numerous. Let's put our skills to good use by dancing, singing, writing poetry, or even by drawing or painting. In doing so, we can demonstrate to the world how perfect God's love is for us.

This is what I chose to draw because for me it was one of the best days of my life last year and that was my 18th birthday and it became even more special because my loved ones were complete and besides of that as you can see in my picture that it’s colourful and you can see in my drawing that I simplified it and it’s not colourful, because the only colors I used were brown, dark brown, silver, black, and red but the result is good even though I’m not that good at drawing.

"the end of the day"
Why don't you try being happy.
Why don't you try being pure.
Don't they know if you trust yourself,
and you should love yourself anymore,,,
Why don't you try being kindness.
Why don't you try being worth.
Don't they know if love yourself.
Then you should go in happy place,,,
I wake up every day and I wonder,,, why everything you've done is not enough,,, I can't understand no I can't understand,,, how life goes on unfair to us.
Why don't you try forgive them.
Why don't you try growing up.
They don't understand what your own processes,,, because believe in yourself anymore...
Focus your goals cause in the end of the day,,, and you can live your dream anymore...
The original song “the end of the world” by skeeter davis, is about to nature and human existence to how love everything which is very important to all people who live this world, this song is very deep and meaningful to understand the message of this song, this song is giving to all people strong personality to empower their own knowledge about human existence, and some people who can live with people with negative thoughts they’ll suffering any kinds of problems, this song is very helpful to all people who listens and appreciate this song. However the reality of this song is about to young woman who live with asking many questions, because she is full of negative thoughts and feeling not enough, everyday she’s overthink about human existence and what’s the purpose of being human then she wrote the song and searching the meaning of life to share her own experience about all living things of this world.

What I saw in the video I made about my life is: I have many things that I can do, that I know myself that I cannot do. Maybe I just need to think outside the box to bring out all my talents. Like writing a poem about my life. That's just one example and I think there are more. I just need to studied it and enjoy the days that pass by. and of course you also need people who love you, support you and help you. You should also appreciate them for every favor they give you. Life is short, we should appreciate all the good things in your life, and if it's a problem, just let it go and move on with your life. Have self-confidence and self-recognition that will take care of and value the achievements for oneself.
