365 Collages | Week 13 | A spring that never dries up
Rejected, collage by iHanna.
I thought of calling this blog post / theme Rejection, but that just feel too negative for my collage art post. The feel of making and looking at the collages are positive (to me, but when naming them I was feeling kind of… down? depleted? alone? So the lady on the phone turned into a great pretender and the carefree lady turned into a saddened woman who can’t have children..
These are the people who live in my collage world this week. That is how the inside of humans can be, even though the outside looks “normal”, whatever normal is…
Do you still want to get to know them a bit? Do you dare enter the world of loneliness and deception?
I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your spring that never dries up.

hmmm, picking just 1 favorite is tough, i really like all of them, but if i had to choose one, i would say “Told to smile for the camera” for me, when i look at collage art, it always varies what in particular draws me in more than another piece, is it the colors, arrangement, focal point….? something usually stands out, something usually speaks to me and i like “it” the most. when i look at all of these pieces together, the little girl smiling makes me smile, so that is my favorite today! i also like the use of the bingo card and the word “sweet” lined up next to her….it fits perfectly!
Oh, I truly love all of these and your story of how the inside does not always match the outside. And that is the essence of kindness, I think, to remember that we all have an inside place that may be hurting even though the outside place is smiling, and how it important it is to encourage one another! Sometimes the judgement of others can be so disheartening! Thank you for sharing your art vulnerably!
