I got a chance to go to the opening for this show with one of my best friends from college. It was an incredible show, and it was wonderful to be able to do this kind of thing again with an old friend.
This piece in particular stuck out, and in particular, this artist, above and beyond the others on the white gallery walls. Why, over all the other work, would this stick out in the gallery, and have me stare at these images for way longer than the others?
Let's pretend, for a minute, that we're in class, critiquing this as it was a fellow student's work. So, as always, we start with a technical critique. Composition, craft, etc. Then move on to the conceptual critique. What do you think the artist is trying to say? Why are they making this image?

I loved that show and I love that piece. I love the passion of it.
Thanks for taking me.
