Hopeless




There are many different types of human condition. What I chose for the human condition was hopelessness. Hopelessness is something we never want to experience as humans though it does happen to us sometimes. There are certain times in our lives where we can not control what happens and when that happens we feel helpless and hopeless. There is also a feeling of hopelessness when we have been beaten down by society. The hopelessness that we feel is only a phase we can come out of it, but it will take hard work. The art I choose for my hopelessness human condition was Billy Gong's "Hopeless." As you can see in the picture the man does look hopeless. You can also see the sun setting as he walks towards it. I feel that the sun is the way to coming out of the man's hopelessness. He is on the journey out of hopelessness but the symbolism of how far the sun is away symbolizes the hard work and struggle to become successful again. This artwork definitely shows the human condition.
