Lucky Year / House of Cards

Amalia M.L.

• Artist Statement

  Lucky Year/House of Cards illustrates the adolescent grapple with identity through the female lens, and the things we do to conform to societal expectations. Inspiration for this piece of writing is rooted in my experience being a woman and navigating adolescence, witnessing myself and my peers undergoing struggles relating to our identities and what exactly it means to be a woman.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity to me is something that I gather throughout daily experiences. Interactions, observations, and experiences all add fuel to a creative fire within myself. I choose to nourish that fire as often as I can because it keeps me warm and fills me with happiness.
