Cleansing Stain: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Thomas Wilson (2013)

My Diptych is titled Cleansing Stain. This is because not all problems end in something negative. More often than not, we are able to solve our problems and come out of it even better than before because we learned from the experience. This can give us the knowledge to protect those with which we care about and make sure it doesn’t happen to them as it did us as well.

In my first picture, I represented the cleansing process with chalk being washed off a street. The water is the tool that is used to cure ourselves of whatever we faced and the chalk is the stain that covered the street that is washed away until nothing is left.

In my second picture, I represented a stain in life with a bottle of pills. Pills are a universal image for drugs, both bad and good. It is a great way to represent a stain because drugs are a very easy way to hit rock bottom.
