ART EXPLORATION #9 - Guerilla Art

This is a meaning quote that I find 

inspiring and empowering to the individual self:

If you never try, you'll never know just what you're worth. 

I want to venture this inspirational quote out into the world. 

  

I started to share with my most immediate and closest family members.
I daringly shared the quote on my brother's walls with washable markers.
 

Not many people write longer write in hand-writing. Have you notice? I suddenly had the urge to write in cursive. Here is its, nice and big cursive writing across his wall.

Reaction to my Guerilla Art

My fifteen year old teenage brother may not have been the happiest teen when he arrived home to find writing on one side of his wall. However, recording his reaction to reading this quote, he stare at  the wall in deep thought for a fair amount of time . I thought about the possibility of my brother being able to gain some confidence or motivation in pursuing something that he might have doubted himself in completing, and that this quote could have acted as an inspiration.  I spoke to him afterwards about the quote and he expressed a lot of grumpiness in his response of my writing in his room. However, he also commented "At least the writing looks nice. Maybe I'll keep it."  Living with my 

 brother all my life, I interpret this response as a sign that he accepts this piece of art that I have created spontaneously. I feel extremely proud that my brother did not demand to wash it off his wall because this is a signification that he likes the piece. Perhaps one day when he's feeling incompetent, a glance at

"If you never try, you'll never know just what you're worth"

will give him another outlook on his abilities to success. 

 The urge to go further with my Guerilla Art

• I had just went out and purchase a take-out of Chinese food with Mixed Greens, Grilled Chicken and Rice. As I stood in an elevator waiting to get to my floor level, a lot of idle time was spent. I had the urge to venture out to the community and share this quote. I took out a piece of paper and jotted the quote down. However, I lacked the stationary materials to create artwork or at the very least, make my message stick on any surface of the elevator. Desperate for tape or a post-it note, I thought "what would make this meaningful piece of paper stick?" 
• I scanned all that I had on me and I desperately took part of the rice from my meal and create a piece of art to the message. The rice made the message it. 
• If you never try, you never know just what you're worth. 
• Who knew the value of rice can also act as temporary tape? I guess this adds values to the worth of tape in my eyes now. This certainly brings a new outlook. Hopefully, the next person whom came across the message was able to take away a reflection as meaningful as the perspective I've seen.
