The Responsibility Dilemma
Various Objects and Materials
Inspired by The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)
ARTIST STATEMENT
This image encapsulates the core themes from the movie of taking responsibility without losing the self. The main character acts childish but is also capable of handling responsibility, but after being denied a work promotion due to his childishness, he goes on a journey to prove himself able of handling the dream job without losing what makes him who he is. This photo explores this conflict of self by visualizing this divided conflict, with the left side containing colorful and immature elements contrasted with the right side's structure and mature elements. The overlap of the objects and switching of the spoons solidifies this struggle between wanting to "grow up" and not leave behind things that bring joy.
