Alaina McDonald Burnt out

The demands of the HSC and my own ineffective study practices and procrastination have often brought me to a feeling of burn out, stress and fatigue as I fall more and more behind, unable to catch up. For this body of work I have expressed these emotions as a disintegration. I represent my face as a melting candle, becoming progressively more liquid until it is a useless mess. I applied the surrealist technique of combining dreamlike ideas with a tight, realistic drawing style to help establish an all-nighter setting.
