My favorite thing in this artwork are the trees and the sky. They bring strong emotions to me, it makes me feel comfort and safety. This artwork, to me, is supposed to represent that opposites attract. In this picture nothing makes sense at first. But when you see some bond between these colors you can feel comfort. I hope that this is what most people feel. A place where nothing makes sense, but to you it’s a place where everything is equal, where it all makes sense. It’s a second place to call home.

I really like how the Black Lives Matter protest played a huge part of 2020 itself. Gen Z is by far the smartest and most powerful generation, and seeing how some have risked their lives to be a part of a great change is amazing. When looking at this artwork, I would like for you to see the different obstacles, life changing or minor changes, that we’ve all overcome last year.
