Strength Catcher
Size: 8 x 10
Medium: Acrylic on canvas

This is a painting of a dream catcher. Dream catchers are crafts of

the Native American People and are made using natural materials. It is hung
near the sleeping area because it is believed that it would catch good
dreams and bring it to the one sleeping under it. I plan to hang this artwork
near my bed like what the Americans do with real dream catchers. The
reason why I painted this is to remind me to be brave and fearless. Be brave
not before sleeping but be brave in real life because dreams are just series of
thoughts, images and sensations occurring in the mind during sleep and
anything that happens there wont affect you for real. Being afraid on your
own dream is the same as being afraid to face challenges on real life. This is
also related to a song entitled Stay Awake and my most favorite lyrics from
it is Dreams only last for a night.
