old aches
I focused on the feeling of the kind of nostalgia that hurts without reason — nostalgia that rattles you until you try to forget again. There are a lot of moments like this that humans experience walking with time that disappears; and, something I wanted to bring into another moment of the viewer’s experience. Finding these photos to cut and paste together helped me solidify my vision. The graphic components became a last-minute addition that further unified the piece and contributed to the theme of time. The biggest inspiration to the color palette and vibe of old aches was through the stages of insecurity and anxiety throughout the artistic process.
