This painting by Keith Haring was created in the urban environment. I easily identify with it because I grew up in an urban area. The composition and coloring of it, reminds me of grafitti art in which I witnessed growing up. I enjoy grafitti art because of its aestethic but also more so because of its content and context. It has a powerful meaning and message behind it. This is why I identify with this painting. There is a lot of text within this image as well which evokes power alone. 

Identity

This is actually an image of myself that I took. I feel that the dynamics of the hallway makes the composition of the image strong. It is a bust length self portrait, in which captures me looking to the ceiling. It represents me well, because I am a person who ponders a lot on things, and dream, and imagine things because I am a creative person. I think of the future, which is kind of portrayed through the hallway effect. 

In this photograph, it is a photo of a man whom has covered more than 50,000 square feet of Philadelphia with mosaic murals. I know this is an unusual image to choose, but because this represents a vision he had, I immediately identify with it. He had a vision and it seems in this photograph especially, it spilled out of his brain into a room. The composition of shapes, reflects the different ideas he had, and it pours out onto the floor as well. I have a vision for my artwork and my photography, and it literally could fill a couple of rooms or certain square miles. In which I find it fascinating. I am of course a  visual person who visualizes her future, her work, her life, etc.
