This composition represents both my present and my somewhat hollow past.  The shirt with buttons symbolizes my recently developed obsession with button-up shirts. It represents how I'm becoming more formal and organized. The hat is something that I used to wear every day to almost everywhere, which represents my past self that refused new things. The t-shirt is an oversized old shirt that I used to like. Wearing it feels rather "hollow". The shoe on the side with the stitching on it represents my organized and somewhat picky personality.

If I were to summarize this piece in one concept as a whole, I would compare it to a flower. The blouse is like the flower of the composition, the shorts are the stem that holds up the weight of the whole piece, and the belt is like the leaves that decorate the emptiness of a stem. The wrist-band is like a small flower bud that hasn't yet bloomed, portraying how sports take up a small part of my joy in school life. The shoes that are worn and frayed by my many steps are like the roots that branch out under the ground support the plant to be even stronger. The phone case is like a garden that captures the flowers as a whole. It also displays my small contribution to support the Korean comfort women as the beautiful flowers were designed by the women themselves with a kind hearted brand, Marymond.

When you're looking at my sketch, you can see a pair of 3D movie glasses I got from somewhere, this represents my hobby of watching movies. Under the glasses, it's a shirt that I always wear during summer, on the shirt, there is a little star-shaped pin, it also represents my hobbies. Under the T-shirt on the right side, it is the shorts that I usually wear at home, the logo is a croissant which symbolizes my love to EAT FOOD.

In my charcoal sketch, there are many hidden meanings; the hoodie which represents winter-- my favorite season of the year, the shorts that represent my birthday which is in summer.The shoe that represents myself becoming stronger in multiple different aspects. The perspective of my piece is from the side, it helps people to better interpret my sketch

Belt- The belt represents the formal side of me, it represents special events, and the stylish way of holding the glass.
Basketball shirt- This basketball T-shirt represents my love for basketball, and the abstract drawing of a basketball made me realize that basketball is not a game, it's a form of art.
Shoes- These shoes have taken me to many places, and have seen all the terrible things in my life. The drowsy days when I walk to school in the rain, the days I wore it to piano class with my teacher disappointed I didn't do my homework, and the days I am forced to shop with my mom.
Trampoline Socks- These socks represent a flashback, a 8 year old Glen, first time going to a trampoline park, and having a blast jumping up and down. It made me feel like I was...flying, having all my fantasies come true.

Upon tackling this project, I had chosen the items for their pretty pastel colours only to realize I could only capture them in black and white, hence the title. A friend of mine always wore chokers and she didn't care what others said about her. I, then, decided to buy one of my own as if that would help me become more like her. The hat, too, was purchased because of a friend - a friend who always loved soft colours. I bought it as a gift only to realize she had one similar to it already. The shoes were something I had always wanted. They have been worn to their fullest, with the edges fraying and threads untangling. The last and final item is the alien t-shirt. I can recall countless 3AM conversations about aliens with the unfortunate people who, too, were awake at those ungodly hours, until they told me to sleep. It represents my unhealthy fascination with space.

watch: It was a Christmas gift from my grandmother, and it represents the memories I've made with my grandma.
Clutch: My mom gave it to me on the first day of high school. It represents the memories that I've made in school.

The wrinkles on my clothes and things expressed without any color show how my memories fade over time.

1) Hoodie, 2) Converse Shoes
I hop of my bed and the day starts off. My room is still dark, darker when it's a usual foggy Beijing day; and brighter on a pleasant, sunny day. The monochromatic values spread throughout all four sides of my bedroom walls and make it hard to match my outfit (turning on the light seems unnatural in the morning). In reality, the clothes are vibrant hues: the hoodie is a vivid mustard yellow and the Converse is blood red. From this charcoal drawing piece, I decided to drain away the colors and duplicate the black and white scene I see every morning- the five minutes of me making a mess in my closet.

Levi t-shirt: my love for Levi. This shirt represents the lovey dovey and dedicated-to-Levi side of me.
Jacket with wings symbol: my love for anime because the symbol on it is the wings of freedom symbol from one of my favourite anime's. This makes people think I'm obsessive.
Scarf: given to me when we went to a yurt camp in Inner Mongolia on the compass trip thing. It shows that I love travelling.
Converse: my old favourite shoes before they got old and broken. Before them, I didn't wear anything else.
