The medium I chose for this piece was acrylic paint because I thought it would allow me to portray my vision, and it’s my favorite medium to work with.
My own emotions inspired this piece. I have always been an emotional person — and I have a habit of fidgeting with my fingers a lot when I’m nervous — so the idea came with ease.
Art has always been one of the most powerful forms of expression for me, and I plan to make art a major part of my future.
