This peice visually represents my healing process after ankle surgery. Every few weeks after the surgery, I sat down and drew myself, my feelings and emotions. The first weeks were rough, but with every week passing I felt more hopeful and light. Each drawing progressively gets more colorful, expressing how with time, color returned back into my monotone life. The glowing strings intertwining to form a braid show how my life was slowly coming back together, and healing. This piece is important to me because it represents my true feelings and journey towards being fully healed. The glowing light at the end presents how even though life may seem dark, eventually the light will resurface once more.

Creativity means freedom. It means fluidity to express emotions you wouldn’t usually be able to show. It allows you to separate yourself from your surroundings and simply immerse yourself in the vast expanse that is your mind. Creativity is expression of your truest parts of self.
