This abstract/expressionist artwork encapsulates the concept of abstract darkness with a silver star sticker of excellence, accomplishment, and flawlessness given to us as children. It embodies the notion that praise and recognition can often be associated with hidden struggles and challenges, which are not always apparent to others. This piece explores the idea that our society often teaches growing up to appreciate applauds of achievements that are gained at the expense of inner darkness, struggle and difficulties. ‘All for a silver star’ invites contemplation on the complex relationship between success and the hidden battles ignored in the growing pains of life.
