This piece came from a very emotional place as it relates to a friend committing suicide. I tried to capture the vulnerability of two friends both going through issues with their mental health. One girl succumbs to the struggle while one chooses to get better, and the whole piece is an analogy to the water and how it can fully engulf and submerge someone. The metaphorical sinking, tied together, reflects the inescapable nature of these struggles. Instead of the typical dynamic of one person saving the other from drowning, both individuals are tethered to the same weight, sinking together, which makes this piece differ.

Creativity is having the freedom to make or do whatever you want. With nobody judging you, you can be as creative and actually use your special skills.
