Maggie’s art expresses her  journey to answer the question: "How do we find love (whether for ourselves, others, or life itself) while growing up in a time defined by struggle?"

Each artwork represents a small microcosm of experience: moments of frustration, isolation, pressure, and reflection that define what it feels like to grow up today. “Midnight Frustration” expresses the academic stress that builds until it feels explosive. “Covid Fear” reflects the loss of control and human connection during isolation. “Doom Scrolling” captures the suffocating cycle of phone addiction. “Hidden Truth” reveals the quiet exhaustion carried into each new day. Maggie processed her own experiences and recognized that these struggles are not faced alone, but shared across an entire generation. 

Through creating this body of work, she realized that love exists in persistence, in survival, in the support of family and community, and in the act of continuing to create, despite uncertainty. She said, "It is this love and the struggle for love that unite us and give us hope."
