Our Soaked Vessels
This abstract piece was created by the prompt, “Create an artwork that is abstract but depicts vessels”
All I want to say is that our eyes carry our puddles of tears just like puddles on the road carry water when it starts raining. Rest all is left to your interpretation.
It all started with me walking to go to a cafe last Sunday. It was a rainy day and it wouldn’t stop raining.

To me, this artwork depicts the emotion of crying and how our eyes act like vessels/bags and puddles that store water and it comes out of our eyes in the form of tears. The top portion is the eyeballs in distress and about to cry. Lifting the top will make you look at the puddles of water/tears within you or that have come out. Looking up shows all the tissues used to wipe/suppress these tears.
What is your interpretation?
