SLC-S31/W5 | Creative Interpretation : The Emotion - Jealousy

Source :Pixabay

Jealousy is a feeling that people often hide. No one wants to admit easily that they are suffering inside when they see someone else's happiness or success. In my paintings, I have not shown jealousy as a terrible monster, but rather as a silent feeling that gradually changes people's hearts and destroys people's minds.

The main scene of my painting is an old garden. On the west side of the garden stands a bright red rose, surrounded by sunlight, moonlight, and butterflies. On the other side is a small white flower, which is slowly withering. The white flower looks at the rose every day. There is no anger, no hatred in her eyes, there is only a kind of silent question - "Is all beauty just for her?" The red rose is so beautiful "

I have shown jealousy here from an unexpected perspective. Usually people think that jealousy means the desire to put others down. But in my language, jealousy comes from neglect and the pain of feeling worthless. When someone repeatedly sees others being praised, while themselves disappearing, a kind of emptiness is born in the heart. That emptiness gradually turns into jealousy.

In my Aka painting, the main reason for this feeling is comparison with each other. The rose receives sunlight, water and care every day. People are fascinated by it. But no one looks at the white flower. It begins to think of itself as a failure. It feels that it may never be beautiful or valuable enough.

However, in my painting, I have not shown jealousy only as destructive. In the last part of the Aka painting, a small new green bud is seen growing next to the withered flower. This shows that if jealousy does not lead people to the path of hatred If it does, it can also be a force for self-transformation. Seeing the good in others can create a desire to improve oneself.

In my description, jealousy is on the one hand a feeling of pain, and on the other hand the beginning of finding oneself anew.
