Noid, 2024

Tyler the creator’s “Noid” is the inspiration for this piece. I started to do this piece right after the song was released, then I asked if I could do my piece on this song after remembering it had to be about a literary piece. Paranoia is described as unreasonably or obsessively anxious, suspicious, or mistrustful, which is a feeling that, for me, has always been silently prevalent. Then as I heard this song I noticed how well the feeling was described, even though there were many situations that I know I can't relate to, some parts were remarkably similar to the feeling. The chorus, bridge, and intro were very deep representations of being paranoid and how sometimes it feels overwhelming while other times it's just a small subtle feeling. In the piece I used cardstock and colored pencils, as I felt it gave a view of bleeding in the image, then I tried to draw Tyler the creator's costume of St. Chroma that appeared in the music video for “Noid” with multiple images surrounding him that he mentioned in the song and some that I added that have either happened to me or symbols that have made me anxious from the past or recent situations. The message that I tried to convey in this piece was the same message in the song, which is being followed or watched(paranoid), first with the image of St. Chroma looking straight forward gives a seemingly off putting image and next with many figures that personally to me have made me paranoid or symbols from situations that I have gone through that have made me feel paranoid. In the end I just would suggest all to listen to the song at least once, and even though the lyrics may not give that feeling of paranoia, the beat,chorus, and bridge do, and in my opinion it gives one of the best descriptive beats of a feeling in a song that I have heard in a long time.
