7 Deadly Sins

 The 7 Deadly Sins

    In this week's blog, I'm excited to share our latest project, which centered around a fascinating and challenging theme: The Seven Deadly Sins. These sins, namely pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth, have long been a subject of intrigue in various forms of art and literature.

Our task was to illustrate one of these deadly sins, but here's the twist: we couldn't use any text. This restriction really pushed our creative boundaries, forcing us to delve deep into the essence of the sin we chose to portray. We had to explore various artistic expressions and think about the myriad ways each sin could be visually represented.

It was an exercise in subtlety and symbolism, requiring a thoughtful approach to convey a complex concept without the crutch of words. The experience was enlightening, challenging us to communicate powerful ideas through purely visual means. Stay tuned for the illustrations and the unique interpretations each of us brought to this project!

Here is my 7 Deadly sin. Can you guess what it is?

For my contribution to the project, I chose to take a different approach. Instead of surrounding the character with an excessive amount of food, which seemed like the obvious choice, I opted for a more subtle depiction of gluttony. I illustrated the character with just a single item on the plate – a massive burger where you cant see his face. However, the key element in this portrayal is the character's expression, which is one of intense longing, clearly indicating his thoughts are on acquiring even more food. This approach allowed me to convey the essence of gluttony through the character's insatiable desire rather than through an overt display of excessive food.
