SPRING 2021 ISSUE TWO: CHILDHOOD 1
WELCOME TO... SPRING 2021 ISSUE TWO Theme Our theme for this Spring 2021 issue is Childhood. Nostalgic-filled stories and tales of growing up are told in every medium. Our prototype issue was understandably focused on the recent events in 2020. This year, as things begin to reach a state of return normalcy, we are aiming our content to reflect more positive ideas. We hope you enjoy it! Mission Statement Duality is a student-led digital zine that aims to connect students, faculty, and alumni under one integrated platform. This zine’s purpose is to collect work from the Ringling community and offer participants the chance to collaborate with each other while sharing their ideas and insights openly. 2

A Statement from the Artist... Limit is all about my recollection of growing up in a small suburban town in middle America, and all the troubles I personally encountered in my time there. The music video I broke into two acts. My former self noticed all the imperfections and consistencies in his current reality looking for a way out. This song was the beginning of me really starting to ask bigger questions about life and what I wanted from it. I struggled with my Identity in the suburbs being a Black boy in a majority white community. Not truly understanding I had my own true sense of self until I left the streets that I can still walk blindfolded. That isn’t a joke either. These themes and ideas play on a loop with me performing on a bike through my old town constantly going in circles. The thought that really made this record come to fruition was,” What if I never left?” No further progression within myself or outside of myself only complacency. Hating the repetitive nature of my environment but also being comforted by it because it’s all I’ve ever truly known. There’s the yearning I have of my own and the belief that there is more but not of self. Feeling powerless to do anything about that situation. I lay down in the grass to stare at the sky forever fading back into the earth. The sonics of the song don’t progress into many interesting sections either. That was very intentional. I wanted to make a point out of that. It’s a never-ending cycle with the same drums, piano, and guitar fill. Even to go as far as making my voice monotone for a majority of the song. The only section that the audience gets that’s a bit different from the rest is the last 30-45 seconds or so at the end of the song where my realization kicks in. Where I’m claiming I finally see how the space I’ve grown up in isn’t how the world really works and that there’s more to reach for. Limit is the Story of how Jordan George of Westerville, Ohio died.

A Statement from the Artist... Picasso Digital Painting It’s really difficult to look back on myself as a kid, cause I know how unhappy I was a lot of the time, how I felt I couldn’t fit in; so I wanted to paint myself as comfortable, happy, creative and hopeful. Growing up, gender stuff was super confusing (still is if I’m being honest) I never saw myself as a boy or girl really, just a kid forced into roles in which I had no control over. I would Love tulle tutus, but hate dresses; I would be called a tomboy one minute and then princess the next. Having people tell you who you are, adjectives that don’t fit your puzzle, messes with your head, so I wanted to start letting myself define me. Syd Ritsema 18 Illustration ‘23
