My wall relief is based on the things I like and what I hold close to me. I originally wanted to completely recreate the drawings I had in my sketchbook but going into it I felt like it didn’t really represent me fully, I wanted to present it in a way that included my family and the beach because those hold importance in my life. The two skulls on my piece symbolize me and my sister because we have a really tight bond closer than anyone else. She is my best friend and the one person I connect with the most, and I made them skulls because I also like to draw them as well because that’s kind of a phase Im in. I put them in the beach because growing up I spent a lot of time at the beach painting sea shells with my grandparents and my sister in their village. I love going the beach always it is comforting to me to be in the water and look out on the horizon and how it seems like it goes on forever. I wanted to represent that on my piece, also the shells because I love shells. I am lucky to live near the coast, so I can go to the beach. The wall relief I made represents the things I enjoy in my life.
