Okay, I know I'm not supposed to say what my art means, but I'm not going to force my ideas down your throats. This is how I see my art and if you see it in a completely different way, good or bad, that's your view and I accept it. I imagine this taking place in the fictional town of Buchtton, probably by Warner Field or the baseball arena. The girl lives around that area and is spending a night out to see the stars, possibly worried about an upcoming test or something more serious. I hoped to convey the message that although life can feel hopeless, little spots of joy can be found right behind you. Through middle school, I struggled with finding positives in my day and reminding myself that I was not alone. Too often I found myself sitting by myself at lunch and staring at my friends from far away. In sixth grade, I buried myself in books. In seventh grade, it was graphic novels. Eighth grade, music. I still love all those things, but over the years I've realized that I can find happiness in the way light shimmers through the window, in the way wood itches against my fingertips, or even how rain drips down a hill. Well, thank you for reading! How do you interpret my art?
