Final exam - UNDERSTAND ME!

Most teens find that its difficult to have thier parents understand and relate to not only the thing they are passionate about, but the things they might be going through. As a result (speaking from experience) they may feel misunderstood or singled out from everyone else and find solitude within their room. When teens go through these feelings, it messes with thier head, it's like thier world has been flipped upside down.

Getting through this takes time...a lot of time, but all one can do is to keep expressing the things that they are passionate about and hopefully you'll find some one who feels the same.

        We depicted all this in "UNDERSTAND ME!". We made a house flipped on to its roof to represent the place of solitude and thier world being flipped upside down. This part was Shabaz's idea. We came up with the interactive part of the art piece by having people tag the house with something that means something to them, thus the part where the teen continues to express their self. I didn't have the intention for the tags to be sectioned off but some one tagged Instagram tags only on one wall and people who where related to that tagged there Instagram tag.

I feel very happy with the outcome of this peice though there were some problems where inappropriate things where drawn but the over all look was what made me proud.
