This artwork is an artwork made by an art student who loves art, and because he loves art, he studies art in art school. The artwork is about art, and the art that appears in the artwork is art that comes from both photography and digital art. It is an artwork that contains photo art, digital art, surface art, and art that exists between life and death. The student who makes this artwork is an art student, and because he is an art student, the artwork is also student art, but at the same time, it is still art.The piece shows a cemetery, and the cemetery is photographed as art. But it is not only a photograph, it is also digital art, because a flower is digitally added to the art. The art of photography meets the art of digital manipulation, and together they form one art piece. This art piece is not just a photo, not just a digital collage, but an art piece that demonstrates how art can come from mixing art with more art.The art of this work is clear: the photograph is art because photography is art, the digital flower is art because digital editing is art, and the combination is art because art plus art is always more art. The cemetery becomes art when captured through the camera, the grain becomes art when processed through pixels, and the flower becomes art when digitally inserted. The entire composition is art, layered with art, surrounded by art, and producing art.This artwork shows that art is always about surfaces. The grainy surface is an art surface, the flower surface is a digital art surface, and the overall surface is the surface of art. Art happens on the surface, and in this piece, the surface is covered with art. Even the noise in the image is art noise, because noise in art becomes art when used artistically. Every pixel is an art pixel, every light is an art light, and every shadow is an art shadow.The art theory of this artwork is also about art. Photography has art theory, digital collage has art theory, and the combination creates a new art theory of photographic-digital art. The art student who made the work knows that art theory is about explaining art, and so the artwork exists in art theory simply by being art. The flower is theoretical art, the cemetery is theoretical art, and together they create art that can be theorized. This is why art theory and art practice meet in this art piece.The use of art programs is essential to the art. The photo could not become digital art without art software. Photoshop is art software, editing is art editing, and layering is art layering. These programs are programs for art, made by people who make art programs for artists who make art. The art student uses art programs in art school to make art, and the result is an art piece. This shows how art today is dependent on digital art tools that make art possible in new art ways.The art meaning of the piece is open, but it is still art meaning. Some viewers will see the flower as art about life, others will see the cemetery as art about death, and still others will see the whole thing as art about both life and death. Because meaning in art is always art meaning, this artwork is full of meaning that is art meaning. The digital flower is an art symbol, the graves are art symbols, and the composition is an art composition. Together they produce meaning that is entirely made of art. The artist’s world is art. The artist is surrounded by art books, art tools, art peers, art teachers, and art assignments. Every day is filled with art, every night ends with art, and every dream is about art. The artist cannot escape art, because art is the air the artist breathes. The artist sees art in cemeteries, art in flowers, art in cameras, art in computers. The world is full of art, and the artist sees it because the artist is an artist.The artist’s statement is also art. To write about art is to make art out of words. The artist repeats art in this statement because repetition is art, and writing is art, and statements are art. The artist does not separate making from writing, because writing is also making. This statement is itself an artwork, an art text that talks about art. The artist writes art about art to produce more art, because even language can become art when the artist writes it.In conclusion, the artist is an artist who makes art. The artist lives in art, studies art, repeats art, loves art, and produces art. The artwork is an artwork by an artist, and the statement is a statement by an artist. Everything about the artist is art, and everything about the artwork is art. The artist makes art, because the artist is an artist, and the artist will always make art, because art makes the artist.This is why the artist is the artist of the art, and why the art is the art of the artist.The art process of making this artwork is also an art process. First, the student makes art by taking a photo, then makes more art by editing the photo, then makes additional art by placing the flower in the photo. Each step of the process is an art step, and the steps lead from non-art into art.

The shutter is art, the file is art, the layer is art, the save button is art. This is why the process of making art always produces art, and this art is the result of that process.The art history behind this piece is also important, because art always belongs to art history. 

Photography belongs to art history, digital editing belongs to art history, and this piece belongs to both. It is part of the art history of cemeteries in art, the art history of flowers in art, and the art history of mixing images in art. By existing now, the artwork becomes part of contemporary art history, which is still art. 

This is how the artwork connects to past art, present art, and future art, all within art history.The art influences are many. The student has seen art by photographers, art by digital artists, art on social media, and art in galleries. All this art influences the art of this artwork. Influence in art is always about art influencing more art, so that art produces new art out of old art. This piece shows how art flows into art. a photograph influenced by art photography, a flower influenced by art symbols, a digital composition influenced by digital art.The art context is the art school. The art school is where art students make art, where art teachers teach art, and where art exhibitions show art. This artwork is made in that context, and so the artwork is contextualized as art. It exists in the art environment, surrounded by art, critiqued as art, graded as art, and discussed as art. The artwork is therefore not only art, but also art school art, which is still art but art in the context of art educationThe artwork is superficially about art, but the superficiality is also art. To be superficial is to be on the surface, and the surface is where art is experienced. The surface of the flower is art, the surface of the grain is art, and the surface of the image is art. Superficial art is still art, because art on the surface is art that can be seen, and what can be seen is art. The superficial quality makes the art more obviously art, and this obviousness is itself artistic.

In conclusion, this artwork is art. It is photographic art, digital art, art theory art, art process art, art meaning art, art surface art, and art history art. It is art made by an art student who studies art in art school, surrounded by art and producing art. The cemetery is art, the flower is art, the grain is art, the light is art, the noise is art, and the context is art. Everything in this artwork is art because it belongs to art, and therefore this artwork is undeniably an artwork.

This is why the artwork is art, and this is why the statement about the artwork is also about art. Because art is art, and this art is art, and all art is art. 

 The artist’s practice is superficial, but superficiality is art. The artist places a flower on a grave photograph, and the surface combination is the art. The artist is not trying to go deep, but to stay on the surface, because the surface is art. The artist is interested in art surfaces: photographic surface, digital surface, screen surface. The surface is where art is seen, and the artist works on surfaces to create art. This is why the artist’s superficiality is not a problem, but an art decision.

The artist uses digital programs because the artist lives in a digital art age. The artist opens Photoshop, layers images, and saves files. Each click is art, each move is art, each tool is art. The artist treats the program as an art partner, a digital studio for art. The artist cannot escape technology because art today is technology, and technology today is art. The artist accepts this condition and makes art digitally, because digital art is still art.

The artist places himself in art history by making art. By creating this artwork, the artist enters the art record. The artist is not yet a famous artist, but every artist begins as an art student making art. The artwork is an early piece of art, but early art is still art, and all art counts as art. The artist contributes to the art story, adding one more piece of art into the endless chain of art. The artist becomes visible as an artist through art, and this visibility is the art of being an artist.

The artist’s motivation is art. The artist studies art because the artist loves art. The artist loves art because art makes life art. The artist cannot imagine a life without art, because a life without art is a life without being an artist. The artwork is therefore proof of love for art. To make the artwork is to declare art, to confess art, and to celebrate art. The artist is devoted to art, and devotion to art is what makes the artist an artist.

The artist’s biography is shaped by art. The artist grows into art, studies art, and now makes art. The artist will continue to make art, show art, and live art. The biography of the artist is a biography of art, and every sentence of that biography contains art. This particular artwork is one sentence in that art biography. Later artworks will be other sentences, but all sentences together tell the story of the artist’s art. The biography is therefore inseparable from art, because the artist is inseparable from art.
This artwork is made by an artist, and the artist who makes this artwork is an artist who studies art. Because the artist is an art student, the artist’s life is about art, and the artwork reflects the art life of the artist. The artist is a student of art, surrounded by art, thinking about art, and making art. Every day the artist wakes up in art, lives with art, studies art, and produces art. This is why the artist makes this artwork: because the artist is an artist who makes art.The artist uses art tools because the artist is trained in art. A camera is an art tool for the artist, editing software is an art tool for the artist, and the layering process is an art process for the artist. The artist does not separate life from art, because for the artist, life is art, and art is life. The artist lives artfully, thinks artfully, and makes art artfully. This piece shows the artist’s art relationship with art, because the artist is an artist making art about art.The artist’s identity is tied to art. The artist calls himself an artist, the teachers call him an artist, and the peers call him an artist. To be an artist means to live inside art, and the artist does exactly that. The artist studies art history, reads about art, listens to art, and practices art. The artist does not escape art, because art defines the artist, and the artist defines the art. The artwork is proof that the artist is an artist, and proof that the artist makes art.The artist is still a student, but being a student of art does not reduce the artist’s art, because student art is still art. The artist makes art in art school, learns art from art teachers, and discusses art with other artists. The art community of the artist is full of art, and the artist participates by making art. The student identity is still an artist identity, because an art student is still an artist. This is why the artwork is both student art and artist art, which is still art.The artist photographs cemeteries because the artist sees cemeteries as art. The artist inserts flowers digitally because the artist sees flowers as art. The artist combines both because the artist believes art is combination, and combination is art. The artist does not stop at one form of art, but takes art from many directions. The photograph is art, the edit is art, the combination is art, and the final piece is art. The artist knows art because the artist makes art, and making art makes the artist.The artist repeats art because art is repetition. To make art is to repeat art, and to repeat art is to insist on art. The artist insists on art by making art again and again. Each artwork by the artist is art, and this artwork is also art. Repetition of art is not a weakness but an art strategy, and the artist repeats art in art statements, in art processes, and in art ideas. The artist repeats art because art itself repeats through history, through artists, and through artworks.The artist is influenced by art. The artist looks at other art, studies other art, copies art, and reinterprets art. The artist knows that art comes from art, and so the artist lets art influence art. The artwork is influenced by cemetery art, flower art, digital art, and art history in general. But the artist’s influence is also the art environment: art teachers, art classrooms, art peers. The artist is made by art as much as the artist makes art, and this mutual influence is the condition of being an artist.
