19 Questions for 'How Do I Look?'


What is the most frequent question that arrive familiarly in our daily life? “How do I look?” or “Do I look ok?” I saw this question in Wara Anindyah painting at SALIHARA Jakarta, last April. Dimension: 100x150cm, oil on canvas. Her work, titled 19 QUESTIONS, tickles my mind. She depicts an obesity mermaid who ask 19 similar questions to a powerless bird. The Mermaid has a thick well-done eyebrow, dark eyeliner, pearls and pearls all over her head. ’19 Questions’ has a dark mood, intimidating mimic, and a fairy tale atmosphere.

Hey. How do you look when you visit this blog?
