Episode 3 - Everyone's A Critic

Art has never been a part of my life - till now. I am more of a music person. Sentimental songs with powerful lyrics which I can relate to at certain points in my life, will move me and evoke positive or negative emotions within me. Before, art was like fart. I would look at a piece, that piece would look back at me and we still wouldn't know each other.
Filming for episode 3 for me, brought the word fun to a whole new level. I had fun teasing Rudo on her mispronunciation of native Chinese names and temporarily brought me back to my much younger days in church. 
Viewing "Anguish" by artist August Friedrich Schenck was heartbreaking. The moment I saw that piece, I connected with it immediately as I recalled past loves lost in my life. I am an emotional person. I have alot of feelings and growing up like this was tough. Over the years, I had to learn to shut them down and get tough, to be strong and to stand up for myself. I had to learn to think with my head and not my heart.
I have never met Rudo's late mother who was a medical doctor in England but I got to know her through Rudo's stories. Rudo talks about her mum all the time and through Rudo's stories, I have learnt even more about life and that was why when Rudo spoke of how she identified the mother sheep's love for her kid and relating that to her own story, it moved me so much.
I guess the emotional gates within me just opened and I continued to cry off camera for a good ten minutes after this scene with the camera crew, producers, directors and the public looking and thinking WHO IS THIS IDIOT!?!! 😂😂😂 XOXOX
