It shows helplessness and the robot can't help itself from continuously trying cleaning the mess and only making it worse.]]> 2021-11-11 19:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1884994035 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885024249 "Committed" by Beth Cavener
This sculpture shows two animals chained together, gently resting on each other and looking down in a helpless manner. It represents dependent relationships and that they need each other to carry on. The chain represents the permanent dedication they have towards each other, and that they both may feel stuck in this cycle of codependency.]]> 2021-11-11 19:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885024249 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885026009 2021-11-11 19:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885026009 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885026783 2021-11-11 19:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885026783 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885043208 "Anguish" by August Friedrich Albrecht
This art piece shows a mother lamb that lost its young. Even though its an animal you can see the pain and agony in its face.]]> 2021-11-11 20:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885043208 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885045010 This painting by August is similar to Anguish yet the roles are reversed. A baby lamb has lost its mother and seems frightened and in pain. The emotion of the child is prominent in its face even though it is an animal. You can feel that it is frightened and terrified.]]> 2021-11-11 20:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885045010 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885049891 This painting depicts Ivan the Terrible after he killed his son during an argument between the two of them and regretting it immediately after.]]> 2021-11-11 20:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1885049891 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1921257244 "Dear" By Sun Yuan and Peng Yu
This art piece can be interpreted in many ways but one interpretation is that it shows an abusive relationship. In the center is a comfy chair but that comfort is fully unattainable due to the whip in the center. The glass surrounding can also cause the pain the abusive relationship inflicts, as the whip has left slashes in the glass surrounding this piece.]]> 2021-11-30 19:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1921257244 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1947680811 Many gravestones in New England from around the 1600's to the 1700's feature skulls with wings and the Latin phrase 'Memento Mori' written about it which means "Remember that you have to die".

The progression of Alzheimer's is slow yet unavoidable and once he began to document his own self portraits when diagnosed it carried on for around 4 years. The last self portrait is haunting, the only recognizable features that allude to it being a drawing of something human include only the facial shape and two black holes that represent eyes. ]]> 2021-12-15 06:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948753520 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948755370 2021-12-15 06:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948755370 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948756656 2021-12-15 06:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948756656 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948757866 2021-12-15 06:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948757866 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948763469 This painting has nothing negative in it and overall seems lighthearted. The artist behind this painting though was known for painting cats that were once regular and cute like this but he developed schizophrenia. His slow deterioration over time due to his schizophrenia getting worse can be seen in his paintings such as the ones connected to these. They became more vibrant and psychedelic looking as time went on.]]> 2021-12-15 07:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948763469 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948768606 2021-12-15 07:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948768606 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948772335 2021-12-15 07:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948772335 aliviacgervais https://padlet.com/aliviacgervais/whsdkdce5iwvgazr/wish/1948799616 This song is about the pain and longing of wishing to be young again and Mitski the singer asks for her mom to care for her and to ask if she can stay at home just a bit longer.

It's about a two headed calf born in a field at night and spends its only night alive alone with it's mother. Its life will only last roughly a day once they're taken away so all they know life as is this one night alive underneath the stars.
