I feel like the judge needs to be replaced. In season 4 someone makes the most brilliant metaphor for mental health by recreating an enclosed hamster tunnel, which are infamous for being a detrimental environment to put a hamster in due to it causing stress, it was such a beautiful piece that looked EXACTLY like a hamster tunnel. She was eliminated for this piece because it was… too colorful? As if that wasn’t the point? I honestly don’t know how you could miss the point of that piece. The judge just doesn’t seem capable of thinking beyond her own initial bias which acts to the detriment of SO many contestants throughout the show.
The contestants are talented and artworks are beautiful, but it’s so frustrating watching the judge consistently miss the point. Another example is several of Momo’s artworks in the first season being completely glossed over because the judge didn’t “get” it. There either needs to be a new judge or she needs to work on expanding her biases because it’s getting unbearable.
