I continue work on my 12 pieces. I am struggling because as I work I can't help but look at the results and think: "Nobody would ever want to buy this." My dad reminds me that selling my work (although my ultimate goal) should not be my sole objective. I must focus on what I have now, I cannot be absorbed by the end product yet.
As I work, I realize that these pieces are merely the concrete results of a far more conceptual project. I ultimately want to promote women's education in Afghanistan, it is (hopefully) through my art that this goal may be accomplished.
Art may not be my only utility. I have been given the great opportunity to promote women's education through the lecture series that is held annually at Ithaca High School. I will be given the chance to not only promote my work, but also the work of others, making this a far more universal effort.
I urge anyone to observe the work of the artist JR, who captures the beauty and character behind the human face, in an unexpected and bold way.
