Once my aunt told me to train dog not to bark, requires teach barking. That lead to me wonder ‘Evil might be inevitable being to define the good. Heroes would lose their job without villains’. Then I wrote a story of a girl who was brighter than anyone, but never knew what brightness was. Artwork shows the girl first countering darkness. The artwork is composed of three pieces, the ball of brightness, girl’s encounter, and ball of darkness. The ball of brightness depicts people in fancy dresses dancing in golden ballroom while eyes covered with fabric. It means people are blinded by good, and can’t see the good they have. Girl’s encounter illustrated girl meeting with darkness. The ball of darkness is ball of eyeballs, which may seem spooky and dark, but they see each other while dancing. This contrast shows evil and good can existence co-relation. Also, the angles give visual message of the theme. When the light is on golden side, angle makes shadows and make that part the darkest.
