As long as necessity is socially dreamed, dreaming will remain necessary. The spectacle is the bad dream of a modern society in chains and ultimately expresses nothing more than its wish for sleep. The spectacle is the guardian of that sleep.

I wanted to dive into Vincent Van Gogh and his work to create something different for my last two pieces. He often tried to mimick other artists' work and wanted to live up to society standards. When he broke those boundaries and created his own styles, that is when he found himself as an artist. It wasn't till after he killed himself that he was recognized. I found his self portraits and want to create something inspired by how he created them, as well as incorporating styles from his other work.
