2020

In 2020, I was finishing two graduate degrees virtually, coping with the growing pandemic, and trying to figure out my creative and entrepreneurial direction. Simultaneously, I was learning what it meant to manage my mental health.

While it’s important to celebrate previous accomplishments (symbolized by the balloons in the girl’s hands), it’s also essential to keep a clear view of the evolving goals in front of you (represented by the wavy and seemingly changing sunshine). Most important, though, is every step, breath, and moment along the way (depicted by the fact that the foreground has the most detail and takes up most of the image.) This piece represents how beautiful the journey can be if you keep everything in perspective.
