ARTIST STATEMENT
This series was created with a visual anthology in mind. I wanted to
create an anthology of my experiences throughout high school,
highlighting how political issues such as mental illness, self harm, and
relationships have impacted me. Rather than using unknown women as
my inspiration, I looked within and drew from my own life story. Each
component of the artwork represents either a person, event, or
element that relates to my life. The left canvas is representative of
sadness and low points throughout my life. The right canvas is a
contrast to this, as it represents happiness and positivity in my life,
mainly through art
