Verb. having taken control or to take possession thereof
#hijackyourlife
FINALLY! Exams are over and the first thing that came into my mind from the moment i walked out of that examination room was: 'NEED TO THREAD MY EYEBROWS, NOW!'. And for those who are in Perth, i must say that the service of 'Zubias Threading' is definitely better in Carousel compared to Garden City, as the staff members really take their time to understand your brows rather than just making it 'clean'. I am so glad and content to have a new pair of threaded brows as i am typing this post regarding Hayley Welsh and Andy Faraday's unique collaboration called: 'Hijacked'.
Inside 'The Koolroom', an urban underground venue dedicated to artists to showcase their pieces, was filled with whimsical paintwork of both artists with a combination of mediums including installation, projections, photography, street art and live paint! Here are some photos that i have taken via my iphone:

In my opinion, 'Love' and 'Fear' are the two main key words in this exhibition. The tone of the environment was also set out to create a rather 'lost' but yet calm feeling for audiences to relate to the hidden message behind each art pieces. Work such as ' Trust Love' and 'Through the wrong end of the telescope...' are perhaps suggesting individuals to enjoy the wonder of childhood and to overcome fear through 'trusting love' again.
I personally really like how the big but yet tamed creature is hiding behind a tree, peeping at the fragile little fluffy character secretively in the composition of 'Through the wrong end of the telescope...'. To me, the bigger creature is a metaphor of our little voices inside our heads, whispering and guiding us throughout our youthful lives as an explorer. So take control and 'hijack' your life, get out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid of making mistakes x
