Art

Connected

By Ananya Jain

 

Connected

What happens when two people fall in love? They become interconnected and fully twined together. Sometimes being in love is suffocating as two people overcommit and feel stuck. I wanted to portray a negative aspect of falling in love and how it can leave two people feeling like they have to be together at the expense of their own happiness. Commitment, connection, attachment; falling in love draws two people to a state of obsessiveness.

 

Ananya Jain is  a senior in high school at Parish Episcopal School, Dallas TX, who discovered her love for art at a very young age. Expressing herself through color and mark making has always been a part of her. Today, she enjoys creating realistic pieces with oil paint and acrylics, often depicting her  friends and family.

Metropolitan Lines, Dominalgorhythms

By Huan Gu

Metropolitan Lines
Dominalgorhythms

 

Huan (Joy) Gu is a student at the Cheltenham Ladies’ College, UK. Her artworks are inspired by her city walks and restaurant hunting around Shanghai. She focuses on the dynamic and fluid lines of infrastructure from her photography of buildings in both London and Shanghai. Together with these lines and an antique background, she created “Metropolitan lines”. Her interest of food prompts her to ponder about the relationship between diet and mental wellness. We live in a world where everything is easily accessible, but the knowledge of harmful effects due to these conveniences is concealed. Through her pieces, Joy hopes to reveal problems related to health and wellbeing for the society to discuss and improve. At the same time, she desires to inspire those encountering her work to focus on loving themselves as a crucial goal in life. She has initiated this process by informing more communities of the health effects of fast food by publishing an art piece called “Cezanne’s Takeout” through the Celebrating Art contest in 2022.
