The idea was born from a trip to Canada in Montreal. At the train station, to visit the dome, there were walls full of mosaic art. It casts an afternoon light on the floor, full of orange, yellow, and green tones. Not from the fluorescent light but the street sidewalk iron bars, which were enchanting. Moreover, the USA flag model came from Jasper Johns, an American painter, sculptor, and printmaking artist. So, transforming images from sources is recharging along with a past.
Furthermore, for this reason, Borders is a political statement with many points to consider for its content. Then, from a technical aspect, it urges the alteration of the color. In either case, the stripes of white and blue changed. In general, the whole image where the flag with patterns rests. Green depicts fertile ground; also, the entire forest means abundance. Underneath the banner in the gold background full of Maya and Aztec symbols rests in ancient history.
In addition, crows are flying into the light, symbolizing the people.
For this reason, unable to cross the wall, some may die of starvation or drowning to find freedom. Thus, not leaving behind the smuggling of drugs in the middle of the needs of the people and the lord drugs creates more problems. Further, then everybody pays for it, and deportation is inevitable.
Moreover, the message is now clear. Borders’ depiction represents the wall between the USA, Latin America, and other settlers. Consequently, it generates more income for impresarios in the labor areas. For others, a thread. In conclusion, the government has never ceased to steal, for their selfishness does not let them see the future of their citizens. In short, some people may meet to face their demise on the road to freedom.

Urban images are about people and city buildings from the present and the past. I present two groups of people and places in various settings.
The first person is the vendor, who is texting while working. The second is a group of municipal officials posing for a photo. The third is the city park and the Natural Museum of History. It was the beginning of spring, and I decided to go to the city. As I was searching for ideas, I walked by Museum Street. The scene above caught my attention. Vendors were selling coffee in their cars, but a picture in black and white was on the glass window. It was very different from the many advertisement photos on the streets.
At first, the subjects in the pics looked like German aviators to me. Still, observing closely, I realized that one of the soldiers was wearing an adult British Brodie hat from World War II.
A simple black-and-white picture helps you focus on the main subject and is soothing to your eyesight. In addition, it levels the whole canvas into one. In addition, the city colors in gray have been enhanced in warm colors to show the other side of life. As a result, there is plenty of enjoyment and excitement.
Then, I found my way to re-design during this term, combined with glass reflections. These pictures at first evoke a mix of ideas in our heads that will later crystallize as transparent images. Although the composition is parallel, the focal points are the models followed by the fragmented city. It shows the places and the excitement of its people.
In conclusion, the painting has many clues, full of spark and creativity. So enjoy these images of buildings full of glass and the people in their golden legacy.
Window shopping raises questions about conventionalism. From the male perspective, on the other hand, the female fits the stereotype of being available.
Moreover, the idea is that behavioral and psychological differences between the sexes have biological causes that have remained for a lifetime, and there is no winning or losing in every way.
The glass window projects one’s soul. The other images, such as the signs, are us; the words are our universe. We mirror her actions, fulfilling what we may wish to feel, think, or be adverse to for her when, in reality, it is only an assumption.
Also, window shopping explores the stereotypes from the male and female perspectives—their perspective regarding their assumptions about appearance.
Hence, a man must look sharp and intelligent under any circumstances. But, unfortunately, we live in a society where appearance is too much to put up. There is no right or wrong for not looking suitable to other expectations.
From a technical aspect, layers and tones recreate transparency to create a collage look. The glazing reflects backward letters on most of the model body. Notice once more that she is almost hiding behind these elements. The focal point is on her face, pointing at the sign recalling to open.
Her beauty, in contrast, is intoxicating, and we can not escape it. She is not for sale; she is just attending the store. However, boutiques in Manhattan are energetic and appealing. In the end, they induce you to buy.
In conclusion, assuming ideas creates false findings and can get us in deep trouble. It is better to let the path run its course by observing and being discreet.
