“For my entry, I wanted to show that I am looking forward to the new memories I will make in 2023. I wanted to have photos represent the memories because I feel like photos are connected to memories – people take photos to remember certain events in their lives. Each photo shows my overall feelings about each year so I made the photo for 2023 really bright because I’m hoping that it will be better than previous years. During the pandemic I couldn’t make the same type of memories that I had in the years before. I was stuck at home and couldn’t really hang out with anyone except for my immediate family and even then, we couldn’t do the same things we used to. I’m really hoping for this year to be good, especially because I will be graduating this year.”
