My work plays a spin on the popular tiktok filter where one's face is morphed into a heart. Rather than the typical distortion, I manipulated the faces to depict the progress of one's relationship. As one moves across the panels the distortion of the girl progressively increases, representing how a typical relationship starts out nice and seemingly perfect yet ends up dysfunctional and disfigured. Ultimately, the viewer is left with a sense of unease as the last panel illustrates the girl warped off the canvas, her face leaving the heart, and thus symbolizing the end of the relationship.

Creativity to me means expressing oneself in an original way. This could be through any form of art, the way one thinks, the way one dresses or acts, or essentially, through any means possible. In my opinion, creativity requires imagination, exploration, and self-expression, something that I enjoy depicting through art.
