This artwork is a map of everything for me. It was a break or punch in a field of reality, it was the most pure picture of imagination and hope in my mind, it was a way for me to communicate a feeling I had. Some of these pieces are maps of my brain. It was another way of showing people what I think, what I feel in different situations and I was able to turn these things into something beautiful. Lots of my designs have colors because I think better with them, lots of them are also very patterned or have a repeated design as I can’t put control on the world, I can put control on how I think of it. My art helped me so that when the world went a little too quiet or punched me a little too hard, I was able to sit down and draw out a response.
