"Waste" was probably the most fun with art I had in a while. I had been having a tough day. I was overthinking certain things I said, believing, like Jemma Ford in the drawing, that I was a "waste". At the same time though, I had hope for my future and I infused it into my art. While I originally planned to simply have Jemma falling from the sky into a pile of her failures, I realized that she deserved hope and maybe I did, too. I added that her failures pooled into a bright sunset, my favorite time of day. Feel free to interpret my work as you wish, but to me, Jemma's failures are what makes her her. They are what makes her strong enough to take on the next day and deserve that sunset. Even with her struggles, she still is strong. Thanks for reading! How do you interpret "Waste"?
