Alex De La Cruz (He/Him) Grade 10, The Urban High School of San Francisco Antithesis Watercolor & Ink 7in x 10in 2022 Antithesis – $50
"Antithesis” serves to demonstrate the process in which German Idealists believed self-consciousness to be discovered through: position, opposition, and reconciliation. Though a woman may not be the best example to portray this philosophy, “Antithesis” does symbolize the process in which self-consciousness is achieved. The thesis of harsh sketched lines collide with the antithesis of blended smooth watercolor, but ultimately being brought together by the face of a woman–the synthesis.
