Growing Up in Objects
This painting shows my personality in objects, and interestingly many of the objects are from my childhood or my time growing up. Hence, this picture would fit wonderfully in the children’s bedroom. My teddy bear, Little Ted, has been with me my whole life. There are art materials to express my love of art. The roses show my love for people, family, my dog, and friends in my life. I studied Philosophy, and I am well educated, so there is a philosophy book. The mouse represents the technology that I work with and the digital times I live in. The tennis ball is there because I play tennis and enjoy physical activity. The shoes represent my style and I’m a shoe lover. Finally, the dragon (originally Lego, my favourite toy) with a wonder woman mini figure represents my love of fantasies, pop culture, bravery, adventure, and freedom of spirit. I hope you have learned something about me, and you can relate to some of the objects I have picked. What objects would you pick to describe yourself?
