One with Nature

For a school assignment, I was asked to create a piece that depicted how humans depended on nature and vice versa (using skeletal anatomy and a triadic color scheme). Since I was a child, I was fascinated with how elements of nature resembled the rough shape of elements in a human body. I thought trees looked like the brain; the branches like nerves, the trunk like the spinal cord. Therefore, I unleashed my thoughts onto a smooth paper made just for colored pencils. My thoughts came to life as I replaced the spine and brain with a tree; this portrayed how humans rely on nature, and that nature is within us. To create this work, I studied the skeletal anatomy of a human to create the perfect, balanced proportions.

To me, creativity is a way to unleash any of your emotions and translate them into something visual. I think being creative is a way of not only portraying your own emotions, but a way that touches someone’s soul so they can see the thought-process and creativity behind the work.
