Ungrown
2023 Printmaking 9” x 12” My artwork is about feeling left out and feeling behind. This relates to me because it is how I have been feeling recently. I feel like everyone around me is growing up while I am still a kid, like everyone is in a relationship, has a job, and can drive while I just don’t want to let go of my innocence. By getting a job and learning how to drive I feel like I am betraying younger me. But at the same time I feel like I should be getting ready for the future. I should know what I want to do after high school and where I want to go to college, but I have no idea. I feel like everyone around me knows what they want to be and where they want to go, but I just don’t know yet. |
Black holes
2023 Mix Media (Modeling paste & acrylic paint) 12” x 20” This piece is about feeling disappointed with yourself .This relates to me because it is how I have recently been feeling. I have been feeling like all my wonderful memories have been slowly fading and they have been replaced with my horrible memories . It feels like all the terrible memories are slowly absorbing my amazing memories. I'm just disappointed with myself for letting it happen. Like I'm mad at myself for letting go of the great moments I've had during my childhood and I'm mad at myself for focusing more on those bad moments. But at the same time I feel like I dwell too much on the past and what I could have done better when I should be focused on the future and what's going to happen. |
Passing Time
2023 Mix Media (Watercolors and Printmaking) 12” x 16” My artwork is about time going by and how everyday feels the same. As always it is about me and my thoughts. I feel like time is going way too fast like it's been only a couple of weeks since summer and since my little sister was born but in reality it's been almost five months since school started and four months and 13 days since they were born. Sometimes I feel like everyday is the same day. I wake up at 6:30, brush my teeth and wake up my brother. Then at 6:35 I take my sisters up , get dressed, do my hair, turn on the car, then at 7:45 I leave for school. By 8:00 I am at my seat in Us History then Foods then Art, then PE or Family Health then lunch were I just watch my phone then advisory with my phone then History through Photos then Biology then English. At 3:25 I get to go to my house where I take care of my siblings until my dad comes home, then I go to my room until 10:00 so I brush my teeth and go to bed. |
