All of these images are of different artworks but all of them have one thing in common; they all look destruct in one way or another. The damaged done does not look like it is caused by a minor accident but more of something dangerous, like a natural disaster. Valerie Hegarthy, the artist, is known for creating art that critically engage with art history. Her trompe-l'oeil style shows the effect of natural and man-made disasters on cherished cultural objects. In my opinion, I think what the artist is trying to show her audience here through her artworks, is that sometimes, things that are beautiful are not always made from pretty things. Not all artworks have to be perfect in every way for it to be admirable, sometimes these little flaws are what makes the artwork more meaningful.
