Untitled Rage: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Lucas Andrade (2011)

I Am. I am frustrated and confused. I wonder why are we even alive?. I hear music drowning out ignorance. I see a fake controlled world. I want a meaning to my life. I am frustrated and confused. I pretend my life will actually amount to something. I feel god is unimportant. I touch the border of higher reasoning. I worry once I'm old, my values will change. I cry when I cant say what I really feel. I am frustrated and confused. I understand humanity will never evolve. I say forget the world. I dream that one day people will become aware of their ignorance. I try to be oblivious of the terrible world. I hope people will understand me. I am frustrated and confused . For my diptych, I tried to capture the sheer frustration the modern world creates for meI used the saturated picture of magazines to represent the fake, shallow world that surrounds me, and the person smashing the guitar to represent the frustration I channel into my artwork. My poem shares the dismal view that my diptych tries to convey, by providing the questions that fuel my frustration and confusion.
