Wistfulness is a synonym for nostalgia - to be full of yearning or desire whilst feeling melancholy. Both drawings I have made are self portraits: one of me now and the other of me at six years old. I sometimes look back on my childhood wishing I could have made things different for my younger self, after having learnt how to love myself as an adult, I wonder what life might have been like if I was a little bit kinder to that little girl. But regardless, I do like looking back noticing these changes, not just my emotional growth but physical growth as well.
