肖桐 作品 The Writing's on the Wall-Disaster 02. 2017. Giclee on Canvas. 100x75cm

This image is one of two artworks that I created combining photography with text. I was inspired by the urban photographs of Lucy Shires. This diptych shows the negative emotion that I want to express. I came up the text when I was regretting on something I did, and the wall can express my emotion in that moment better. For example, the paint falling from the wall and the color blue convey a sense of desolation, and the scattered texture represent the conflict in my mind.
