     This piece has something to do with stealing someone's attention. Those branch-like thorns are so eye-catching. It has the power of convincing us that fantasies can sometimes make us feel a little bit of what reality has to offer. The bloody tear and the soft but expressive look of the model supports the idea of a dark, emotional, and realistic atmosphere. In overall assessment, the art piece (above) has this ability of making us feel the heavy emotion that it tries to portray. 

Beyond the Usual:
     Deeply Inside is a piece that lets us feel the agony when we try to keep our negative feelings deep within our own.  It supplies our emotions with the heaviness and real value of heartaches. It gives us the realization that keeping burdens on our own will only make us suffer more. Because a simple load (problem) that we try to carry on our own has a tendency of becoming heavier and more aggressive each day. And when the right time comes, that simple-turned-huge and complex load will eventually burst out from us. The process will make us feel so helpless. So helpless that we turned into emotionally-blind individuals that are searching for great benefits that our previous life has to offer. With this, the lesson that I can extract from this piece is the idea of sharing. 
     Sharing a problem to a companion will help ease the burden because every time we share the load, the more it becomes lighter. By doing so, it will relieve us from too much pain and suffering. I believe that the method will definitely work for each and everyone of us because a problem being shared to others will give us the assurance that someone or somebody (whether friends or family) is out there waiting and willing to help and guide us in our most difficult and troubled times. We will not become and  we will never experience extreme defeat as long as we seek for someone's help and comfort.
