Nostalgia is something that I think about and experience quite regularly. It inspires and motivates my creative mind continuously and is often the driving force behind my illustrative practice. Through nostalgia we are able to fondly remember childhood and look past some of the bad years that come along with it. I think its fascinating how different forms of media can encapsulate a time period of your life. For my piece I reflect on the copious amount of time I spent playing Pokémon Pearl as a kid on my red DS, tucked away in my room and safely away from the events happening in my life. It allowed me to escape into another world where I always had company and never felt alone. Every now and then, I take out that old game cartridge to once again check on my old friends and relive our adventures together.
