My piece is a painting of my great-grandpa, an avid smoker. I’ve heard many stories about how smoking would cause his mood to improve immensely when he wouldn’t talk to anyone. Because of this, I wanted to explore how an addiction like smoking can impact somebody in positive ways, while also being detrimental physically. The smoke wrapping around his neck and clouding his brain shows this contradiction, leaving the question of where the line between good and bad falls.

Creativity means exploring areas you haven’t before and opening your mind to new interpretations/ideas you come up with. It means pushing the limits of what you know and can do, even the boundaries between what is real and what isn’t.
