On August 6th, 1945, my grandpa survived the Hiroshima bomb. When I think about my grandpa and his life, I am reminded of the remarkable resilience he has. The adversities he faces remind me to work hard and find joy in life, despite the turns life throws at you. Because of this, I used vibrant colors for the painting and a warmer tone. The bamboo leaves and tomato pumpkins represent endurance similar to my grandpa. Additionally, the tomato pumpkins pay tribute to my grandpa's vegetable garden, which he tends to faithfully. As an artist, I hope that my work will provide hope and a deeper understanding to my audience. While my grandpa may not be around for my work and accomplishments later in life, I hope this peace can serve as a promise for what's to come.
