Art is so fascinating in the aspect that it can be what you make it and it’s all up to interpretation and intended purpose designated by the artist. The way she described how the title makes the art piece was also thought invoking. Just how our name makes us who we are the title of an art piece gives us insight into who or what we might be working with. Migration stories to Tara Sabharwal in her artwork speaks volumes to demonstrate the literal stories of those going somewhere for a new life. Their struggles, their pain, and their journey.
My favorite part of the presentation was just her explaining her life. She spoke about her inspirations and when she knew she was going to be an artist. That type of thing to know what you want to do from a young age is incredible. She spoke about her first piece which was a glass of water I thought to be quite interesting because how does art make you find beauty in the simplest of concepts. Maybe it’s because I don’t really participate in the creation of art besides my very nice stick figure drawings but it was really amazing to see how other people’s minds work through their art pieces.
Leondra, I definitely believe the time of a youth is prime time to gain inspiration (not saying later on they won’t), and I think many of us are all captured by her story of how she was inspired by a glass of water at such a young age. Often times, we take things for granted, things look so common and trite, and we often overlook things in our lives that can often give us the greatest inspirations, and artwork/writing based on these simple day-to-day things may surprise others and leave such a great impact, just like how her simple story surprised many of us!
