CHAOTIC MEMORIES
Movie Inspiration: Napoleon Dynamite (2004)


    This piece is balanced between the chaos of transition and nostalgic references to childhood. The crowded composition and layers of imagery lead the viewer to investigate and find uncomfortable moments. The brightly colored cereal are realized to be beads, the coloring book pages are ruined with spilled juice, a raw egg floats in the milk and the dollar bill is perceived as unusable for the moment due to being soaked. The discomfort that slowly sneaks up on the viewer is accompanied by a sense of chaos, similar to the way one feels when viewing a collection of unrecognizable objects. The image conveys a transition from a dreamlike hazy memory to a chaotic sense of discomfort.
