• Artist Statement

  I took pictures because when I saw the handprints on the wall it reminded me of my childhood. When I was little I used to dip my hand in paint and make artwork on a piece of paper. The simplicity of the photo reminded me of how simple it was being a child and seeing something that reminded me of my childhood in such a stressful environment like school made me happy when I thought of that. The handprints on the wall arent perfect so it made me think of how people aren't as perfect as they try to be, and how there are stereotypes that cause people to think they have to fit into society. Especially in a high school environment where youth are still figuring out who they are and strive to fit in, it is important to recognize that our flaws and differences are what make us unique in our own ways.
