Description

This was my end-of-year project three years ago, at the end of my freshman art class.

It's an interesting personal piece for me, if you like personal stories tied to art. By the time I made it, I was beginning to recover from the emotional trauma of moving cross-country (you know, moving away from all friends and family and all). I had made new friends and connections, no small thanks to my wonderful and loving boyfriend. <3 

So, I guess that's the reason I made it at first, but now I hope it can be a bigger message to anyone else that needs it.

The background reads
"Do not be afraid to reach out and touch the sky,
you've spent your time in darkness, and now's your chance to fly."

Beautiful. It took my breath away (literally xD)!
You did such a fantastic job, and the message it brings is just as amazing.
I especially love how it looks like she's coming out of a cocoon with wings, as if she tried to protect herself from fear, but instead grew into something more beautiful because of it.
Wonderful job. Simply wonderful.
