The show centers around the word battle. All pieces conceptually represent a different kind or stage of a battle. “Battle for Revenge”, conceptually captures what happens before the battle is about to start. There is a sense that this battle is something that has been waiting to begin for a long time. It gives off the feeling of anticipation, making the viewer wait to see the epic climax. “Battle Cannon” centers around the idea of a character testing out a battle weapon that they have not seen before. The character represents someone who is very curious. And, when said curious character finds something that they have never seen before, even though it seems very dangerous, they still want to test it out. “Battle of the Best” is a physical battle, to see which of the two characters is the better fighter. “Battle Uphill” is exactly what it sounds like. I wanted to show a character who is struggling to climb up a snowy and icy sidewalk on a hill. It tells a very relatable story that a lot of people up north have dealt with.

 

I am interested in the idea of battle because of how relatable it is to everyone, since the word “battle” doesn’t always have to be talking about a physical battle. Everyone, including me, deals with some sort of battle, whether it be mentally, or you’re dealing with the battle of traffic and trying to get to work. I like to see that feeling that people get when watching a battle on any form of entertainment. How quickly the audience’s emotions change from excitement to feelings of pain like they are in the battle themselves. While viewing each piece, I want the audience to remember that battle doesn’t just refer to physical action. I want them to remember that a battle could be dealing with a struggle in life, or even just simply the preparation before a battle. Every battle does not need to include a punch to the face.
