PESSIMIST
Pessimist expresses my negative perspective during lockdown.
Loneliness, lack of activity and loss of identity rendered my perspective considerably pessimistic. Inspired by the ‘weeping-Mary-aesthetic’, I have extended my iris and pupil to create the illusion of tears falling from multiple eyes, symbolising my resonance with the image of 'Our Lady of Sorrow’.
