Buried Memories

I've always centered my artwork around the idea of making my pieces dreamy. For this particular piece, I wanted to show how a memory bursts from a composed set of eyes, taking you into another world. I had never worked with this medium before and was terrified of the fact that I wouldn't be able to erase anything. So, I first started off by making the bottom piece, going into it with no design and seeing where my hands would lead me. After seeing those results I moved onto the top piece, knowing that it would have to be more controlled and tight knit. Hence, I made the design first and heavily focused on the brightness of the eyes as well as the sphere in the middle. Every detail on the top piece was purposely chosen to direct the one's eyes down to the bottom piece. Think of it as a trip down memory lane.

Creativity to me, means freedom, happiness, and release. It is a form of self liberation and takes you into a whole other world, where you call the shots.
