Touched

Ink on paper

In this piece I displayed a gloomy face covered in countless inescapable hands. I wanted to capture another recent phase with my body changing. I observed old and new photos finding many differences and insecurities that had grown on me. Acne, curly hair and no more smiles. I tried to show a lot of emotion, attitude and curiosity with simple strokes creating detailed hands surrounding an irritated face. In the piece, I wanted the hands to mess with my face; trying to bring me back to my younger self. Small, always joyful and funny.

Creativity is freedom. It connect me to who I am as a person. I want to make others feel like it is ok to create art, to be brave, to tell your story. My creativity shows that I care about learning and trying new things.
