The Past, The Present, and The In-Between

May 2022

Mixed Media (watercolor, pen, colored pencil)

This piece represents the feeling of being stuck between phases of your life. I used blue for the hometown to give a melancholy feeling, pink for the hopeful city buildings, and purple for the figure to show that they are a mix of the two. The figure is looking at the blue with tears in their eyes to show that they have outgrown their past. I wanted to show the feeling of yearning for the future to escape where you are now.
