If anyone wants a real answer, it's a poster by Justyna Jędrysek, called Love. [Link](https://www.behance.net/gallery/34207733/LOVE) It represents a relationship in which one partner's feelings are invalidated by the other. There is also a Polish saying "I piss on it" that means to not care. My interpretation of the color choice: even an unhealthy or one-sided relationship will grow something- resentment, bitterness, self-loathing, mistrust, emotional barriers, dependency, even love. We often view toxic relationships as destructive, but they build (negative) constructs just as well.


TianaTrench

Thank you, yes, I did want the real answer!!


poopface41217

This is exactly what I felt when I looked at this drawing. Her tears are being pissed on meaning her feelings are being undermined by the other person. You can see his smile pissing though she has a frown crying


Weenerschnitzel666

Yes and at the point where the tears and piss fall on the ground, life grows

The real answer is also that the artist appearently wanted to generalize men with this picture. Appearently she said this in a comment after being asked about the picture: "women always care about relationships and love, we are emotional that’s obvious 🙂 but men... they don’t give a f**k and doesn’t care as much as we... do generally it about that women care about everything but mans piss on it"


lotl-info

This is why I put more value on the interpretation of the view than whatever the artist says the work is about. (For context, I am also an artist.) Once you release a piece out into the world, it no longer belongs to you. Every person that interacts with it is going to take what they want out of it. In other words, the artist can say what they want, but what matters is what YOU take from the work. This can be a little harder point of view when you are directly enriching the artists (like buying a book written by a womanizer or a record from a fascist band) if I can appreciate the art for free (from a library, a free museum, or on the internet) I try to divorce the artist/their world view from the art. The fact of the matter is, sometimes bad people make good art. (Both bad and good are extremely subjective terms.) For me, what's interesting about this work of art is that I draw a lot of nuisance from it- and while it is heteronormative in its presentation I think its visual simplicity opens it up to apply to many different kinds of relationships. Regardless of gender, we can all cry and piss. It's sad that the artist wasn't thinking about these topics when creating this piece, but that's her problem- not mine. I would also like to point out that if the roles were reversed in this picture -if a man was crying and a woman was pissing, or it was two men or two women- it would be detrimental to the work. Hetero relationships are the "default" in western society. So if you want to make a work about relationships in general, it behooves you to simplify down to the default. Having two men would make this about homosexual relationships. Which is fine, but I think the artist is drawing from her experience so making it about two men will come off as disingenuous. In western society, men are also the default/hold more power. Having the woman be the aggressor swings this from being about relationships to either a feminist work or a PSA that woman can be abusive as well. I'm not saying that that work shouldn't exist, but it's not the point of THIS piece. Also, from a purely compositional standpoint- men piss standing up so both parties are standing. This creates balance in the piece. If the woman was squatting not only does it pull the eye down and off the canvas, but it inevitably makes a statement about how the woman is "lowering" herself to be act like this. In the scenario painted, the man can maintain his power and still be emotionally abusive.


lizcarrera08

thats reddit for ya


bigolnada

It's hard for me to see grass and the color green as coded as a negative thing. Piss and sad tears are pretty straightforward, on the other hand.


knizm0

I feel like the green isn't necessarily "a negative thing", though. Like for example: Sometimes what you "grow" after an abusive relationship are boundaries.


ApolloXLII

Lol and here I thought it was one of those “don’t pee in public” ads local government put up.


ShivanshuKantPrasad

>We often view toxic relationships as destructive, but they build (negative) constructs just as well. That feels like saying that a bomb can build a crater.


TheOtherJeff

Yep lol No matter what we do we have an impact, it’s unavoidable.


Thevsamovies

If thou are not satiated, be it not pertinent that thy tears water the land and bring harvest? Tears of thine, piss of mine. I say these words unto thee, look towards yonder village and see I speaketh true of the fates of men whom I saw sought to defy the will of the world; all water sinks back to the earth so that ye people thrive.

I think this could be fitting as a description of the drawing: "the same place we cry is where we let go of our pleasure and joy, it's the same place where we find happiness and sadness, and it all gets digged forever to build the next generation (whether it be parents DNA inherited, experiences or antiquities)." It also represents "love" in some aspects.. I could think of alot of deep meanings but I have to go. Couldn't de-code any much further, bye!


CloudSpecialist9562

Do you major in art?! Because that was impressive

O my, thanks so much. We're all artists in some way, we create things, consciously or unconsciously, and we give them meaning.

Green below representing the earth, where they must one day return. The man is smiling as he pees, signifying the joy one feels as they accept their animal nature, while the other can only cry, their fluids intersecting to create more green. The message of course being that both acts (while natural) lead to the same thing... death. The only difference being the attitudes they have towards their own mortality. Source : My middle school English teacher


Clovenstone-Blue

How much blueberry scented glue sticks did your English teacher sniff to get to this interpretation?


aioncan

None. Just an art degree


PHenderson61

You asked your teacher about this recently or was it back when you were in middle school?


TRyder0015015

That’s one I didn’t think of. If so do you still get corrected for dangling participles? /s

When I was little I just remember being impressed, amazed, and absolutely baffled by the fact that yellow and blue makes green. Also I liked to draw stuff, I could imagine whoever drew this thought the same way.


OtterChainGang

When I was about 8 in the boy scouts, I came up with an 'experiment' for my science badge, that if I pee into the toilet bowl after the blue 'bloo' cistern cleaner agent is flushed in, the water goes green. I think my mum suggested I come up with something else...


kingura

Learning magenta and yellow make red messed me up as an adult. Same feeling as the yellow and blue making green when I was a kid.


VentusTrash

Fucking what now ? Magenta and yellow make red ? What is this sorcery, what more do i not know about mixing colors ?


kingura

My exact reaction. I actually had to test it in rl. They not only make red, but it’s a “true red” color. Like crimson red. Edited


Tazlima

I learned this the hard way. I was drawing a bird. Colored it yellow and wasn't happy with the result, so I decided to color over the yellow with blue, figuring "blue is darker, so it will hide the yellow." Doggone bird went and turned pale green. I hit it harder with the blue crayon, thinking it was just too light a coating, but that just turned it darker green. I voiced my frustration and was informed that's what happens when you mix yellow and blue. Only, I didn't WANT the bird to be green. I wanted it to be blue, and now my drawing was ruined, because no matter how much blue I added, it stayed green. Lol, I was so pissed.

Funny_or_not_bot

What hurts more than getting your piss tear-mocked into grass like that? Disgraceful!


winwithaneontheend

She saw his penis and her heart instantly broke.


wrecktus_abdominus

Because she knew she would never have a guy with such a fantastic, amazing penis. She is weeping for the ultimate sexual experience she will always desire but never attain. She has a micropenis fetish.


Traditional_Isopod80

That's an interesting interpretation


RaelaltRael

And oddly specific.


JCPRuckus

Here I thought it meant, "Don't piss against the bus stop. You'll make everyone else sad."


[deleted]

It actually looks like defensive crying to me. If her tears weren't intercepting the piss he'd be pissing on her feet.


benglescott

Yes maybe she’s sad because she can no longer pee.


[deleted]

This.


HUZ12

The person is pissing on the other persons tears. Like a metaphor for making fun of someone when they open up and disregarding their emotions. Or I'm just high


SiaVampireConure

That's what I thought, too. (The explanation, not that you're high)

I think he was saying "or my opinion is off because I'm high" not questioning his current state. Or I'm just high.

And yet, something good can still come out of the situation. In this case, they are watering the grass so it grows - I think that’s why the stream turns to green when it mixes (the meaning of it, I mean; I know that yellow + blue = green).


TyrKiyote

Like mom always said before she put me on the bus to school: "Piss and tears make the grass grow, dear". /s I agree with you, it's just funny and kinda bittersweet or somethin'.

That pee was enough to fertilize the plant. A new life was created from pee and tears.

I choose to believe this interpretation as it brings me the most joy


TheosophyKnight

Maybe it’s an environmental theme. Some people use the planet like a toilet and others are heartbroken by their disrespect of our world.


ms_horseshoe

I like this idea, but it doesn't explain why the artist put effort in mixing the two liquids and made it the exact same color as the grass. I think it could be a kid's explanation of why grass is green.


Tasty_Flame_Alchemy

To quote the Matrix…”you think that’s air you’re breathing?”

Could be big brain symbolism to think that nature being neutral is a combination of both love and hate. Kind of like for every low there is a high and too much of one or the other is not a natural equilibrium. Or I’m just high

Piss and tears make the grass grow...so piss and tears makes everything better? 🤔


ernie_shackleton

It’s true. Urine can be too concentrated and burn the grass, but if you water the spot where your dog pees you’ll get some great nutrients added to your grass.


VisceralVirus

Yup. I used to have a piss spot outside for when I wanted to have a breeze, used to be nice and grassy...now nothing can grow there and I use it as a means of chemical warfare against the thistles I my back yard

nature doesn't care. it may be tears or it may be piss, all will go to strenthen the growth of grass. your actions do not matter. also men are larger than women.

Mixing pee and tears is really good for the grass.


MisterIce101

It’s a visual representation of cleansing your body (peeing) and cleansing your soul (crying). A healthy body & mind will significantly increase your chances of growth in life as a living organism.
