My concentration is focused on breaking free from the constraints of the educational system. For the majority of my time in grade school, I was entirely focused on taking the hardest
classes and standing out in my grade. I was so focused on being the top in my academics that my life was consumed by this unhealthy obsession that revolved solely around my schoolwork. I
began having unrealistic expectations of what I could accomplish and I would stress to the point of making myself literally sick. When I started to take art seriously, I realized that I had gotten
so caught up on getting good grades that I had lost a sense of my own identity. My pieces are representational of me breaking free from the expectations of school and society in order to
discover my true self.
