When brainstorming for this piece, I encountered three words that guided me from start to finish: identity, difference, and strength. Each time I put brush to paper, I kept these three words in mind, weaving each word into a dynamic performance of color. Harmony in Diversity invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of difference. The central figure, a symbol of individuality, is accompanied by three vibrant fish. Each fish has a distinct energy, but they swim in unison. This piece pushed my limits; it tested my ability to materialize my thoughts. It taught me about myself, art, and diversity.

Creativity is the ability to weave originality, passion, and curiosity into something meaningful. Creativity goes beyond just a painting; it's the process of innovating and taking risks while having the courage to fail. Creativity means to materialize my emotions, dreams, and wonderings.
