Designers Statement
Some people are trapped in a world of grey monotony, trudging on with bleak outlooks on life. However, just a dash of color can brighten up their days. This image is supposed to evoke the feeling that even though your surroundings may be dreary, something small can instill optimism in you. A small dose of art can still add a warm glow to your life and help you overcome the dark aspects of the world.
I wish to venture into this field because I want to spark feeling in other people. A story that heads straight for the heart can give people hope and the inspiration to revisit their childhood dreams. Pictures have the ability to softly tug at those heartstrings as well, perhaps even more so. My dearest wish is to be able to touch people with art and to make them feel things that they’d thought they’d forgotten in their childhood days. I want to find ways to show people what being human really means by touching their hearts.
