RE: Street Art from Playa Del Carmen, Mexico ...HELP! What does it mean??
I feel the same way. Art is emotional, it comes from and emotional place. I think this is one of those that depending on how you feel will change how you see it and I think you'll always find new things about it you didn't notice before.
There's an obvious feeling of loneliness and isolation. At the same time, it feels there is something weighing me down; I am drowning
I get that feeling too. With all the different faces, it's all the different aspects of you. You aren't just 1 piece, you are many pieces. That's why I mentioned that each time you look at it you will always find something different about it. It's very moving in a lot of ways.
It did make me feel very sad @tryskele, but I just wasn't figuring out why? After reading all of these awesome comments, I now sense the man being overwhelmed with everyone and everything in his life; the feeling of him drowning with it all. Maybe it's about him trying to figure out exactly who he is, and feeling very alone because of it.
Thanks for adding to this discussion! I really appreciate it :)
You're very welcome : ) This is such an awesome piece of street art, it does what it should. It should make you feel and be a bit introspective. As I said art should provoke emotion, since emotion is what drives art. So glad you found your meaning with it.
The street art here is so amazing! I've been posting about it for a while, but there are hundreds of them in this city!
And I love how it seems to have evoked a different response for people here. We all look at art of any kind with our emotional baggage and life experiences, so I love to see how those things appear when people are interpreting art! Such a cool thing :)
Sorry, work got in the way :D Sounds like you're having a great time. I will definitely have to put that as a destination on my bucket list. Sounds amazing.
No worries! It is an amazing place to visit for sure; you should put in on the list :)
