Artist Statement
I am writing my artist statement for the middle picture. This is a photo of my brother, he is 15 years old, and is a freshman in high school. This picture represents who George is as a person. The first photo was taken right after Michigan one their final four game. George was very excited as you can see by his facial expression. He was still decked out in his Michigan gear. The photo is called “sunset” because the sunset is very prevalent in the background, and in a way the sun was setting on Michigan’s basketball season. The end of the day was approaching fast just as the end of the season was almost upon them. The second picture is called excitement. This picture focuses less on the background, and more on Georges face. You can see the excitement in his eyes as he begins the wait for the national championship game where Michigan was to play Villanova. The season was coming to a close, and the excitement was at its peak, as it had kept building all the way up to this moment.
