Night at the Museum

The art piece that stood out most to me throughout the night is “Untitled by Andrea Chung”. As soon as I walked past it the texture of the hands actually sticking out of the wall really caught my eye. The emotion it invoked in me was sadness to a certain degree. The fact that it’s the same shade of blue as the wall where it is located makes it seem like it’s meant to be overlook when not carefully inspected. As well as the fact that the hands are holding objects that seem shiny and valuable, like they are treasures or gems speaks volumes. It’s as if these hands are just giving and giving out when they themselves are being overlooked due to blending in. No one is appreciating them for the service or work, just the commodity of value being put out. Maybe that’s too deep of a take, but surprisingly it invoked quite a deep string of thoughts for me which just made me appreciate the art work 10x more!!
