Artists Statement:
In this collage I am trying to convey my identity and the things that bring me joy. The first layer is a landscape photo of my favorite place on earth, Torch lake. I go every year with my family and it brings me so much happiness to go there. The second layer is my selfie. This was taken in 2021 when we just transferred back to in person school. This took a lot of editing with the lasso tool to make it look balanced with the background image. The third layer is my dog, Luke. We got him when I was seven and he is so sweet and relaxed. I used a lighter opacity to achieve that faded look. The forth layer is a Red Wings hockey jersey. Hockey has always been a big part of my childhood and I watch all of the games with my dad. I really look forward to watching them and going to their games as well. The fifth layer is my childhood comfort stuffed animal piggy. I got him when I was one and have had it ever since, I take it everywhere. The final layer is a citrine crystal, i like how shiny they are and they have some medicinal/ stress relief uses as well. This collage is to portray who I am and what I value.
