AP Concentration 2- Pain

Description

Yay for being behind on my concentration! :dummy: (I have 4 so far) (I need 12, but some can be detail shots)

So in a nutshell, my concentration is emotional opposites! How the world is a yin yang of feelings. Good, bad defining each other into light and dark. Conceptually I aim to communicate these emotions into a more physical form!

Here's number one: Hope for the future and personal dreams> [link]

This, overall is either pain or fear depending on how you look at it, my inspiration came from my own personal issues.. When I was a little kid I nearly choked on a piece of bacon and it had scared me (somehow) to the irrational fear of swallowing pills. Being that I'm on the computer often and headaches have been almost a part of my family, I've suffered from completely cripling migraines, where I literally CRAWLED into a corner, curled in a ball, felt like I was going to throw up and I would die.
I've also had ocular migraines, (WHICH ARE SCARY AS HECK I MIGHT ADD. YOU SERIOUSLY FEEL BLIND.)>[link] . My parents would always yell at me about how I need to get over myself, but I just couldnt do it.. until the beginning of this year when I realized I could take pills with yogurt and applesauce.. So i've been much better ^^; I know that sounds really sad, but legit my throat would close up and I would gag the pill out when trying to take it with water...

So.. enough about me and my issues!
This is acryllic! The background and its muddy colors were difficult, and I rendered the composition myself on photoshop, Using that picture of myself in there too (yes thats me pffft I have really skinny wrists.)
And for LOLZ.
I put in a pill reference to the Matrix to keep myself entertained on this piece...
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

As to represent a difficult choice in reality for me.

Basically my concentration is a contrast of light and dark, so expect really happy and really dark paintings back to back!
The opposite of this is Bliss, which I'm pretty much done with and will post soon!
