#246: The shore between Fantasy and Reality 1 and 2 (After Barbie)

1:

Oil on canvas.  Someone is standing in the middle of the painting with different landscapes stretching out to either side.  To the left (as the viewer sees it) is a landscape made up of all their fantasies and dreams, while one formed by their reality stretches to the right.  

(You could imagine these as your fantasy life, and your real one - or the fantasy and real lives of someone else, maybe a fictional character).  

The footballer, the actor, the musician, Wing Island, another life.

2:  

Oil on canvas.  A landscape of all your desires and hopes and dreams, everything you want to be.

Text along the bottom of both paintings reads: 

Is it easier to fixate on something you can never be when the world wants too much from you?
