4/26/2018 0 Comments Truth To Power ProgressThis week I began working on my Truth to Power piece. My concept is based on John 8:32, which says "And then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This is meant to be a representation of my personal faith, experiences, and truth, and because of the power of Christ I am set free from my burden and the pressure to do enough good in order to win my validation. My plan is to create a thin layer of paint a an undercoat before creating a collage on her face and skin.
But to be honest, I am struggling with this project. For some reason I don't feel motivated, and I don't feel like I know what I'm doing. Maybe the piece itself is not that bad, but my process is. I constantly compare myself to other students, working to try an uphold some sort of invisible standard for myself. It is simply ironic that I am working on this project, symbolizing the freedom I have through Christ, just as I am struggling with my own human imperfection. When I realized this tonight I felt very convicted. I know that something will come out of this piece if I let myself go to try new things and work at it no matter what. Next week I may either take this project in a whole new direction, or continue trying to work on this one. Either way, I know that the important thing is that my message is conveyed.
