This piece features a giant teddy bear by my side. It illustrates my inclination to turn to my stuffies to cope with and process my feelings. Stuffies help me navigate my mental health, giving me a reliable object to fall back on when I am emotional. However, they also made me overly reliant on them, especially when other kids started outgrowing their stuffies.

Creativity is my world. I can not function without creativity. People call it a gift, but I feel like it’s an instinct. I can not approach a challenge without trying to think creatively. I live and breathe creativity.
