I Call It Celebration

Soozy's MFA show at the Project Lodge didn't have the titles of the artwork next to them, which are all based on her dreams. It didn't matter at first, because the work is so interesting that it could have multiple meanings... but then I realized there were titles! And the titles made the work more interesting! Just like they should!

This is "Speakeasy Rebuke."
This is "I Call It Celebration." A painting of Soozy on her wedding day, with hearts in her hair. Awww, cute.So where did the title come from? Wedding Crashers... When the emo Clearly gives Vince Vaughn's character a portrait of Vince wearing only a tree leaf. The associated quote:
I made you a painting. I call it "Celebration." It's sexual and violent. I thought you might like it.
