Biography: I look up to many idols but no one can top my mother. She’s no professional art major nor does she find any fascination in the art world. She’s a beautiful green thumb who’ll use one single sapling and nurture it into something glorious blossoming and exceeding its potential. She is who inspires me. I wrote “Junior Year” during the end of the year where school was stressful. A way I decided to destress myself was the game Uno. As I played I made connections on what these cards mean in terms of school. This piece reminds me of a stressful past that I’ve been through and it somehow destresses me.”
