My artistic journey has been filled with highs and many, many low days and nights where I felt I was drowning, under stress, and feeling anxiety and fear of not achieving my goals which often felt impossible. But I kept swimming, getting to the point where I could stand up and walk out of the depths of everything that had been crushing me. I broke through, and while it is still the hardest battle, it is one I love to fight.
This piece represents everything I am, I was, and where I'm going.
Every time I look at this artwork, it takes me back to the time when I finally made it through the worst part of my life. I made it to where I’ve always wanted to be, despite feelings of hopelessness. I was willing to lose everything because this was and is everything to me.
I encourage you all to fight that fight with me and get to where you want to be.
