Art Competition Honourable Mentions
The following is a collection of honourable mentions, consisting of pieces that – by the narrowest margin – didn't make the top 3 of the Art Competition of Quad 1!
With the theme 'beginnings' in mind, contestants were asked to create a piece in any art form.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
These are the honourable mentions that didn't make the top 3 by the narrowest margin.
By Amarant de Ligt:
the beginning of the end
I touch his face
as he pulls me closer
I look into his eyes
as he stares into mine
I kiss him in his neck
as he whispers in my ear
I will set you free tonight
By Ellora Sen
Sunset at Midnight
A shadow in the night
Moves different than the day
It is a concept in reverse
Because it’s here to stay
I’ll give another example
Of how to turn it around
Because sometimes in doing this
Gains sight in what wasn’t to be found
A plucked flower that is budding
Might seem a tragic loss
But the beauty is within
That adds perspective to the lot
A painting of a photo
Are two windows thus removed
It’s something in interpretation
Art just relishing to be disapproved
Sunset at midnight
Is such a pretty sight to see
It’s the dark colors of the sky
Mixed with dreams of possibility
A rain jacket with no hood
Is more common than you’d think
It’s not what’s up above
Or splashing from below
But that you’re seeking cover
From that place you were to go
A bee with no sting
Can seem such an anomaly
Like a word without definition
Floating aimlessly
Although a bee without a stinger
Might seem less than his fellow bees
Will live to buzz much longer
And laugh at life’s ridiculous, rationalities
