Lyrical Painting Project
I used the song Runaway by AURORA for my lyrical painting piece, through this artwork, I was able to express the song via visual imagery. This song means a lot to me, and the meaning has a lot to do with my memory. I have a photographic memory, what this means is that the way I think, and the way that I see the world through memories, is in pictures. My brain is quiet, but I see things all the time. There is no voice in my head, only a constant string of images and visualizations.
Because of my visual memory, I associate sounds and memories with places. I associate Runaway with the rooftop of the apartment complex that I lived in in downtown Bangkok. I would always play this song when I went to the roof. I could see over Bangkok, and the combination of AURORA’s lyrics and the view of Bangkok’s skyline gave me an amazing sense of tranquility, I have never felt anything more spiritual then when I was listening to this song on the roof.
I was able to express this song through visualization by painting the images that I associate with this song. With both the imagery, and artistry, I feel as though I have done a sufficient job expressing Runaway by AURORA.
