Stubborn is one of the pieces for my thesis. I referenced to the ancient cave art that I encountered during my first history class in our university. They are very inspiring throughout the years, and even after centuries, people still learn about them. They are powerful image and communication tools back in the days. I tried to create a chaotic scene to show how it is very hard to remove the history of it. Cleaning supplies, hand on the right are not able to wipe them off. These art are stubborn and preserved since long time ago. To better explain my idea, I tried to illustrate the round door as the entrance of a cave.
