Wall painting

One of our assignments given to us was representing the idea of "body" through a wall painting in the N3 campus basement.

The main elements that we have used in this painting are:

1. The jellyfish
The motive and deeper understanding of using a jellyfish to represent a body was because jellyfish are one amongst a few other creatures that do not that a fixed skeletal structure.

2. The baby
The portrayal of a baby still inside the womb (the jellyfish) as an element in the painting was meant to represent the birth of new life that has a fixed structure and limitations inside something that does not i.e. our universe (as our universe has no limitations).

3. The cubes
The cubes in our painting symbolically represent the basic building blocks of everything.

Now if we analyse all these elements together as one whole picture, there is a stark contrast of the ideas that the jellyfish, human body and cubes portray. The contrasting ideas of fluidity versus rigidity has been represented. Also, the idea of a mortal being growing inside something immortal makes the viewer think deeper into this. Us mortal human beings are living inside an immortal, limitless, and never ending universe (which is a body that makes up EVERYTHING).
The idea of "body" has been perceived differently by different people and hence the contrasting ideas.
