concept
In this body of work, I wanted to focus on the nostalgia of childhood. Furthering this idea, I was interested in contrasting the themes of childhood and adulthood, visualizing the process of this transition and identifying the qualities or behaviors we choose to keep or leave behind as we mature. This concept comes as a response to reaching the end of adolescence and noticing the shift in perspective of my peers and I as we grow into adulthood. I began to question why I retained more childlike qualities in comparison to my peers, naturally leading me to explore and find resolve through art. I hope to achieve a sense of understanding about coming of age and ignite an appreciation for childhood memories within my audience.
