FACADE
The artist was brought up by strict and conservative parents where good manners should be cultivated above all else.
Thus, Emily would be very self-conscious of the way she behaves, as she felt that her parents and other people would be observing every single move she makes. She would also be very careful as to not make any mistake that would displease anyone. Now as an adult, Emily should have more freedom of living the way she wanted and freely express her feelings. However, she realized that she has to put herself in a confined cage due to her upbringing. She became constrained by her very actions, not allowing herself to do whatever she wanted. Till this day, Emily is still struggling to break free from this cage. She hopes the day would come where she could live freely and not be overly concerned about her actions and behaviours. |
