Dialogue
Like, uh... I have been looking at power figures, the stuff's cool.
Sophia:
Nkisi nkondi were figures used by the Kongo people to drive away evil forces. They'd insert nails and stuff to signify sealed pacts, crimes, all sorts of stuff.
Sophia:
It feels very symbolic. Art is like, all symbolic. I think. Uh...
David:
So... a personal agreement on meaning?
Sophia:
Eh-yea... Symbols can be personal. Sooo they can look confusing. I guess
that's why you're trippin'?
Sophia:
Like... you can look at art as an artifact.
David:
Artifact?
Sophia:
Yeah like a mark in time, so they're "useful" in that way...
David:
Oh.
Right.
Karen:
Yerrr notes?
Sophia:
Trends come and go.
People painted things realistically before the advent of the camera.
Paving the way for abstract paintings to make things more deep...
Sophia:
Yeah Karen mentioned your notes. You will probably like this more.
Sophia:
I want my art to feel deep and connect with me and others in some way. Symbols are important...
Sophia:
Like they're shortcuts for a feeling or idea. Making your own sounds fun...
