She Opened the Door and Said Phenomenal

Today has been a rewarding day.

After all the work I put into this project, it is done.

For the longest time, I debated with myself on how people would react to this dress, but the more I worked on it, the less it mattered.

Art is not made to please you.

It is made to make you think.

When I came to class this morning, Pattie Dye, my professor, opened the door and before I could speak, she just looked at me and said "It's phenomenal."

It's phenomenal.

2 words have scarcely meant so much to me.

Throughout the critique I admired my fellow artists' work, some more than others, but appreciated basically every piece in it's own right.

I feel that I have taken a step out of assignment land and into the world of something bigger.

For once, I am completely and utterly proud.

I have one request though...

Please don't look at it and admire the design.  

That is what many people do... They look.  They sigh.  They move on.

Please.

Just look at it.

And think of what it means.
