Melodic
“Melodic” is a 60-second film that captures the power of music as an anchor during tough times. It uses evocative visuals and sound to show how music can ground us amid adversity.

My perspective
My art piece is full of secret details that explain my view on my own anchors. Art has always been a hobby that I feel like I can turn into something great and powerful with meaning and has always been something I use to calm myself down or keep me motivated.
At The End of the Day
A consistent nightly routine grounds me after a tiring day at school. I find that the simple things like eating a snack, reading a book, and getting to bed at a reasonable time allow my body and mind to recharge.
Find your Anchor
My art shows two people facing opposite directions; one side is blue while the other is red. The blue represents calm, and the red represents anger. On the blue side there are things that help people stay positive and keep going in life.
Baking Bliss
Along with painting, baking is one of my favorite hobbies. Baking has taught me how to appreciate things, to have patience, and also to recognize all the ingredients of my life that have made me the person I am today.
My Little Blue Box
Life is never easy, but it’s harder on some people than others. Sometimes as friends or family members, we can’t tell when a person needs our help or support. I’d like to think that our anchors do see our struggles, and that they lend themselves to us so we can see past our anxiety.
Take a Breath
It is about how if you ever felt down or feel like you life is hopelessly spiraling out of your hands, it’s play to take a breath and do the things that you like to make yourself feel better.
Capture The Moment
My anchor is digital media, specifically film and documenting. All of my life, I’ve always felt that every misfortune I’ve had to bear would forever be out of my control and that I had to live with that misery by itself, but my anchor and the new things I’ve discovered give me something to smile about and brings me comfort and a smile in hard times.
Hold On
This song is about how I really struggled with my mental health issues a few months ago and was starting to lose hope that things would get better until certain people came into my life. Those people have now become a few of my closest friends and have made a huge impact on my life. They showed me that things eventually get better.
Book Bans
It’s absolutely outrageous to me that books and information can be banned. Oftentimes, these books are labeled as ‘inappropriate’ as a way to justify silencing them.
