Faruk

from : Nuremburg, Germany

personal object : a wristwatch

I bought this Smartwatch S3 Classic by Samsung with my first salary. Last year I started to study a combination of Software Engineering and Economy. It symbolised the first step to living without the protection of my parents, but also the first step to freedom.

chosen artwork : Bursting Shell    Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, 1915

In this painting you look directly into a colourful spiral. It represents the past for me; the incredible time I had with my family. The sharp forms represent all the danger and the mistakes someone can make (like taking drugs). Such things would harm you on your way through life. You can see things that happened in your past, including the mistakes you made, when you reflect on life.
