Artist Statement

Usually when I set out in creating Art, I usually have a theme in mind that shapes my art; however with this assignment, I really didn't see the theme until after it was created.
For the past few weeks I have gone through some personal struggles and just over the last few days have regained the confidence and hope that I wanted. I conclude that each song and sound was a reflection a phase as I went through this experience.
The first sound i used as a foundational layer was static. The static represents imperfection. The audio piece made the overall piece sound as if the music was trying play over the static and compete for the audiences attention.

The piece starts out with some sounds that are abstract sounding. Whenever I hear unnatural sounds it always makes me think abstractly. The struggles I have experienced over the past few weeks have caused me to dig inward and to look at myself abstractly rather than dogmatically.
The second music piece is House by the Sea by Iron and Wine. His piece starts out with abstract sound but then turns into cohesive music. This could be a reflection of what happens when I dig deep and assess my inner character-- I discover what I am really feeling.
The third piece is a classical number by Asturias. For some reason listening to his piece makes me feel stressed and anxious which is what I realized I had been feeling over the past couple of weeks.
The last piece was Somewhere over the rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. When I listen to this song, i feel peaceful and happy. This piece represents how as I kept searching deeper,  I eventually was able to push out the anxious feelings and replace then with the feelings of piece that I so desperately wanted.
To sum it up, I feel that this webspinna represented the theme that we will always have imperfections despite how we feel, hoever even though we cannot always control some of our imperfections, we can control how we feel.
