• Artist Statement

  The five cranes and two chocolates represent the seven continents of our Earth, and how they are all at peace. In many cultures, such as in Chinese culture, paper cranes are used to symbolize peace and hope. This drawing represents my hope that all countries, despite our differences and contrasting opinions, that we can coexist in peace, with no war and the loss of innocent lives.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is expressing yourself, and not being limited to other people's ideas or what they want you to do. Creativity is the ability to do what you want, and how you want to do it.
