Anxiously watching and waiting : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Anxiously Watching and Waiting is a personal examination and exploration through painting. The paintings exhibited are about witnessing people close to me undergo major life-changes. Attending ceremonies commemorating these events, I became a spectator as well as a participant, and during these occasions I began reflecting upon my own life. Because of the introspection caused and the strong emotions evoked, I felt driven to paint about these events. The exhibition includes paintings about my younger brother's transformation, friends getting married, and about myself and my future.
