colors on that tv

i friggin made an art piece for my local fair. after like... 2 years of my art teacher asking if i wanted to participate i finally said yes this year cuz its my last one. Lowkey? worth it. its cool
information is censored ominously cuz im not too open about sharing my info
it was created with oil pastels and soft pastels. the canvas was some black 100% cotton canvas. all of them were from walmart LMFAO
i spent a good 2 weeks pondering what or how i should make this, but its creation was actually accidental. i had done swatches of the oil pastels on the canvas to test it, and it kinda inspired me to make a contrasting weird abstract piece. its supposed to be weird and make you go ? huh?
the setting comes from my faulty young memory of my late great-grandmother's guest room. my older cousins would play games when everyone came together (given the n64) and some not-so-clear paper on the right. now that i look at it it does NOT look like paper and a pencil... but its supposed to be like a faulty memory so it all works out. the black and white comes from how i recall memories. i never really "see" the color, only how the light entered my eyes (so basically black and white)
to me, it encapsulates my nostalgia and grief about my great-grandma and her house. i know it like the back of my hand, i know it like i can just run to that house and see everything like it was before, but its not there. i can remember, i can recall, i can imagine but yet i really dont. i wont see it anymore.
the encapsulating worked cause when my friend saw it, it reminded of her of her own life as a kid and i went MWEHEHEHE MWEHEEEEEEEHEHEE THE INTENDED MESSAGE WORKED!!!!
