This artwork depicts the inner workings of the sky. To an observer on the ground, the woman’s dress, which looks like a cloud to them, seems like a wonderful place. But the place she sits upon is just a shell. In the background, holes show the true chaotic nature of this perfect place. Nothing about this place is normal; even the babies have black wings. The woman, meanwhile, is looking down into the hole, wanting to go down into that dark place. Loosely wrapping around her are little blobs of surreal pinkish substance, showing the little souls that build up the mask that hides the outside.

Creativity is the ability to express my thoughts and emotions as directly and personally as possible. It represents a method of creating or planning art that is unique for every person. For me, I love incorporating stream-of-consciousness into my creative process, and art is the outlet for my insane ideas.
