Artwork Description

Liberating.

34.0 x 46.0 cm

As a little cute boy, I kissed girls. My evil tyrant father opposed it. No matter what I did or said, he scolded me. He wants me to be suicidal. None helped, gave me useful lessons, or had the guts to intervene. All alone. A startlingly decorated tribal African woman wants to be seen, admired, and seduced. Living freely brings her calm and simplicity. She is happy, tolerant, and honest. Many hard rules set by lying, egoist, evil, and power-hungry humans are not what she must obey. She is free to act along with her heart. The wonderful butterfly on the ear, I equate with cute humans who are real, empathetic, and loving. The keywords are cute and liberating, evoking a sense of joy within me, something I actively support and value. The cool graffiti in the backdrop and on the face are frustrating because coolness appeals to women, but as a child, I suffered from a mental illness, which made my life hard, frustrating, and baffled, impeding my ability to develop, mature, and be cool.
