FINAL THOUGHTS

I wanted to compile some of my favorite quotes that I feel loosely sum up a lot of the reasoning behind my art and who I am as an artist. I’ve always held doubts about where I’ve stood as an artist. Am I enough? Will I ever be enough? Is what I make valid? Simply just existing and producing artwork in an enviornment such as Pratt makes me wonder a lot of these things a lot of the time.

And while I constantly go over these thoughts everyday I’m in school, I’ve learned to take the time to think and fight them. It’s okay that my art isn’t perfect or polished, it isn’t supposed to be. Neither am I. I’m just here to learn the best way to share my stories to those who’ll listen. I’m here and I’m proudly taking up the space that I deserve, and I shouldn’t doubt that for even a single second.

The phrase “Sueños Realizados” in English means “Dreams Come True.” I believe by simply making art, putting in the effort to get better and learn, trying to share my stories that my dreams are already in motion, already coming true. All there’s left to do is continue to grow and work hard, making even more of my hopes and dreams come true.
