I tried to make every piece of the picture generic in itself so that it could be interpreted by anyone in a way relevant to a situation they've experienced. I have no clue if I have accomnplished this, but maybe I did.
I really wanted to express that nobody is truly what they might seem to be. We all have masks so that we may appear a different way before different audiences. We feel like we are always the one under the spolight and we have to behave perfectly as the role we are playing. The voices of the millions (The people you talk about when you say 'they say this' or 'they'll think this') are telling you what to do. You follow their orders. You play the role that they are telling you that you need to play.
I think I summed it up, but I could have missed a lot of stuff. Please tell me what you think of this and what it might mean to you.

Wow, I really like it and I'm a bit of an art geek. I really like the position the zombie like figure. It seems to be a comment on the "masks" we fashion for ourselves and wear. Like I typically wear the "Easy-going mask" or "Know it all mask," "Philosophical-Intellectual Writer" mask, "Art Geek" mask. and all these are merely disguises of our true selves which we are afraid others will interpret as a disgusting zombie.
That's what I got out of it.
Yeah, you showed this picture to me at school.
I think that everyone just wants to be loved, and to achieve that goal, most people go around wearing masks to attract other mask-wearers. Underneath, people are just scared that if anyone finds out who they really are, nobody will love them anymore. The masks don't inspire love, just lust. I'm sure glad none of us wear masks. *cough nick cough*
Oh, and exams suck
Oh yeah. They suck. They need to die. But you definitely should make your blog, Jené.
