“In my painting, I want to express my hopes of finding myself this year. Looking back on 2022, I went through a lot of rough patches. During those hard times, I felt like I lost myself in multiple instances. Even though on the outside I looked fine, on the inside I felt empty almost like a void, never-ending sadness. So, with that thought in mind, I created this painting. I represented the feelings I felt during my rough patches. In the back, you will see bright colors. Those colors represent my favorite parts of myself. Even though I felt like a blue never-ending void, the best parts of me were still there in the background, waiting to be shown again.”
