     The above art is truly exceptional because it speaks so loud and clear even though it has no color to please its viewer's eyes. The content itself speaks for something that is far beyond the truth wherein reality is now asking us to widen our awareness. The style of the artist is very convincing that it would really convince people from what they see, intrigues bystanders to know its deeper meaning, and invites everyone to be aware of the current situation that is so alarming. 

     The included caption is so simple and very understandable. It has this door that has been widely opened in order to fully complement with the image that portrays human trafficking. Thus, the image and captions became dramatically as one and sets a unified and a very strong goal - to deliver awareness. 

     In over all assessment, Human trafficking (the title of the image) gives you what you deserve to know in whatever level you would want it to understand. The opportunity of understanding this piece can be obtained whether you take it either in just a quick glimpse, simple stare or in deep attention.    

Beyond the Usual:

     "What do you see when you look at your fellow man?... Some people see a profit." The art piece is very convicting that it gives us the opportunity to think and rethink all over again. It allows us to contemplate on the real reality that is actually happening within our circle of community without even knowing it. 

     The piece would also challenge us to assess ourselves if we really are a responsible citizen and if we dare to take necessary action in resolving or helping the authority solve this kind of frustrating problem that emerges within our community. In my own perspective, the image is inviting us to seek for specific answers that would  help solve the problem instead of just knowing the problem that had occurred several decades ago. This problem won't stop as long our eyes, ears, and hearts are not open for this kind of inhumane doings.

Creative Reflection

Limelight Content:

     The above piece can be considered as one of the most sought art because it contains a much higher level of interpretation. In this kind of art, the method of portraying one's reflection is so unique that it has the capacity of capturing a glimpse from spectators. The kind of glimpse that I'm talking about is the one that can only be owned by the most precious masterpiece that the world has to offer.

     The contrast of colors between the two characters helps define the individuality of both persona- one,  portraying the real self while the other, portraying the preferred self. No wonder that this art is being talked about because it contains the picture of how it embraces the union of creativity and innovation.

     As an over-all assessment, I must say that this art fascinates me so much because it supplies my mind with an impressive imagination straight from the artist's juicy and well-applauded mind.  

    

Beyond the Usual:

     If art would be defined as a reflection of the everyday reality, then "Creative Reflection" can be a very good example. This piece reflects an everyday phenomenon that occurs in every human beings - achieving a much preferred self. In life, people would always seek for a certain level of perfection that would satisfy them from achieving their desired personality. This only means that sometimes, we do strive and are eager to excel in different fields because we do want to have a certain identity and a character of fulfillment. These two things are factors that motivates us to strive more and to become better than our previous performances. 

     Therefore, I would say that this art tells us that we (people) are the perfect artists and designers of our own identity because we do things that would help build up our own personality through emotionally-satisfying activities. Just remember that whether we achieve our preferred personality or not, what matters most is that we have enjoyed and learned positive ideas from the entire process of creating and building our own reflection (identity).
