This project was about taking a trite concept, which in a less pretentious way means common, and making it unique. We had to take three common subjects, find their meaning and then brainstorm ideas for the piece. As you can see by the lower picture, I took that part incredibly seriously. The symbol that I went with was the ocean, which represents serenity, and how I made it original was by mocking it with someone taking it too literally. As for the piece itself, I feel like it isn't that great. If I had more time, I might have thought of a better idea, and there was a lot of blank space. That being said, I do feel like pen was a good choice for the piece as a whole, so there's that.
And for the record, I loathe the word "trite."
