This art piece explores the contrast between what one can see and what one chooses to believe. The girl pictures has a blindfold on and is holding a candle, a symbol of direction and guidance. Although she is unable to see what she holds, it light up her face with a gentle glow, illustrating the idea that she welcomes its light and advice. The charcoal contributes to a dark image, especially with the shadow hands reaching toward her in the back. These can represent many different struggles based on the person interpreting them, includinging pressure, fears, or doubts. They represent a force of darkness that makes one feel vulnerable, with the power to extinguish the flame that keeps our life going.The toned paper helps make the light stand out, looking powerful against the darkness. I hope that viewers reflect on their own struggles and remember the light they still carry.

To me creativity is a form of perspective, as it is seeing things in a different way than the "normal" way. It is transforming ideas into something new, and imagination into a form of expression. It is experimenting with the unknown and embracing every step to express, solve, and grow.
