Distance.

When I walking to school, I noticed this flag which was not only quite dirty and beaten up but was over this barbed wire. I liked the perspective I had and I composed this photo in the specific way to send a message that I hope was conveyed.

Extra Photos For Discussion!

We had these extra photos leftover from our excursion that we enjoyed but couldn't fit into our theme! So, we thought we would post them up to see what you guys thought!

The Artist Statement.

Reality sucks. There is something about living in the real world that makes being a simple organism such a complex being. We all like an escape. Some have art, some have film and others may have porn but the underlying theme is common, we are, at times discontent with the world we live in. When I was young I had a PSone. This decently sized box contained the hope that Pandora left after she let out all of the evils in the world. I would immerse myself in graphic worlds with graphic characters and enriching storylines. Fast-forward a couple of months to when a mishap with my “mechanical heart” broke. It was the first time I cried for something that seemed so meaningless, for something that to others, had no purpose or value. With all of the folly and wasted time associated with playing video games, I found meaning. I am interested in providing a portal for that meaning for other people, in any facet of media, whether it is in advertising, video games, film or public relations.

Sometimes we don’t understand each other as people but what media can provide is an outlet, an outlet for expression but most importantly a mode of escape. If a person can look at my work and smile, or cry or feel then I’ve done my job as a creative artist.  

Lines. Cold. Color.

Resonating Image for Image Resonation

I look at this image and see truth. In any situation, in every story (especially in media) there are always two sides. There is always something to question and always something new to learn about a story. The real problem seems to be that people do not want to hear both sides. What are we if we don't understand both sides of a story? Ignorant. This actually makes me feel pretty angry. There are TONS of situations I have been in or situations that I have seen other people in that have a neglected side. You have to see things in every perspective or you'll just be blind.

Just a thought..

My name is Kevin Pena. I thought it would be smart to introduce myself, that's what you do with one of these things right? I'm in my room trying to understand something. The heart. It makes no sense to me. For every answer that science provides, for every blog or every magazine we read, the heart still is a topic that we as people can never understand. So, why do we continuously perpetuate this cycle of curiosity?

The answer is simple, curiosity is one of the last human attributes that lasts forever.
