I have always struggled with the feeling of loneliness. I wanted to represent that feeling in a light-hearted way to help myself and others who may also struggle with that feeling.

After a chaotic week at school, I felt the urge to let loose and create something and channel my feelings. I decided to grab some colours and materials and place things in random areas. There are many different emotions represented in this piece with something new to discover every time you look at it.

I don’t often use markers, so I wanted to try and make an interesting piece with them. I experimented with layering different colours and shading. I chose vibrant contrasting colours to make the hands pop and eye-catching. I also wanted unclean lines to add to the overall style of the piece.

I had no plan when I started this piece. I began with a small square near the center of the page and drew other shapes around it. I felt it was too plain and boring to look at and decided to add some shading, which helped bring the piece together. Although it may appear random, every shape was carefully placed to fill in each space.

In one hundred years our world will surely be different. There will be new technology and amazing things, however, one day we will run out of materials and we will need to start reusing old things, such as cars, and repurposing them to match the technological standards of the time. I wanted to showcase past and future coexisting in a unique way.

Before this piece, I had never created something using only one colour. I chose rounded primitive shapes and this rich purple colour because it’s calming to me. I wanted to purposefully explore using different shades of a single colour.
