A swift and insightful read. I literally gasped at the ending; this book is amazing!

This Gothic novel was about how Dorian allowed himself to be poisoned by Lord Henry's disturbing views. His naiveté and docile nature were his weaknesses. His obsession with eternal youth and beauty without regard to reputation and good morals became his downfall. He gradually became indifferent to others' feelings and sentiments just to satisfy his desire to live an artistic life, but found himself slowly descending into madness and cruelty. His life was a tragedy.

I love how the portrait was the objectification of his very own soul. Its degradation over the years showed not only the decay of his appearance but also of his character. One thing I learned from the book is that looks matter, but only to an extent. It's one's character and beliefs that define him. Not one person is entirely good or evil, but a concoction of both.

As Dorian once said,

Each of us has heaven and hell in him.

Here are some of my fave quotes:

Art has no influence on action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile. The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

Ugliness was the one reality. The coarse brawl, the loathsome den, the crude violence of disordered life, the very vileness of thief and outcast, were more vivid, in their intense actuality of impression, than all the gracious shapes of art, the dreamy shadows of song

ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE

A digital collage inspired by my orange tropical-printed shorts I wore back then.

It's really fun to experiment with juxtapositioning different elements to create a piece!

These are the first few stages of the editing process. I ditched the background and made a solid ir a solid color. I drew a beach at the bottom just for fun. I also minimize the copy-pasted image of the running guy.

This is the alternative piece with the background!

The pandemic has been a great challenge for all of us. Being socially isolated made us rethink ourselves and our decisions in life. Some have considered to try being healthy and take care of themselves, while some have been battling through darkness, trying to fight their own insecurities. If you ever see someone you know and noticed that they have changed physically, encourage them to be positive and help them through whatever they are going through. Underneath someone’s physical state, lies their personality, which is much more than what their perceived “attractiveness” is. Never shame someone for being who they are. Love everyone and always love yourself the most.
