A self-expression piece describing my point in life and how far I've become and where I am at. It sums up my current status and everything I am feeling and tackling at the moment in a nutshell.
This is my most recent artwork as of July 2018, as I seek to discover life and explore my identity further and deeper than ever.

In this page, you'll see my planning for this artwork, some thought processes and anecdotes.
When I created this piece, I originally intended to make a sticker adding to my brain/organs project. However, upon exploring this works in my sketch phase, I realised I wanted to show vulnerability and express my life at the moment. I wanted to explore and share this feeling with others.
My mentor once mentioned to me:
"We are always looking at art, but at some point, the art is looking back at you".

In terms of my process, in order to make meaningful art, I always think, what am I going to get out of doing this? Is it worth my time? What do I want to say to people?
Asking myself the important questions before spending time to create a design or art piece.

Above, I was happy with my artwork and found it represents me quite wholeheartedly. I decided to use it for social media and decided to adjust it to various banner sizes and forms.
Thank you for viewing and supporting.

If I could tell you how I'm doing at life, I'd say this piece describes it in a nutshell. The rough waves represent how life is a rollercoaster not just mentally, but emotionally. And my brain riding the sea, with myself on top, my own identity itself is something I am discovering, exploring and struggling with. The world is much bigger than I am and at the same time, there is a world within myself to explore. Sometimes I do come out self-absorbed and withdrawn, and sometimes I can be more sociable. But I always have constant frustrations with life, myself and the world yet I want to explore and discover and find appreciation in it. It's a jumble of emotions but I'm still on the journey and figuring things out one step at a time.
