The piece “Maria” is a very special piece for me. She is a friend who is from Plüderhausen, Germany that I met during my time studying as a sophomore in New Hampton School. She used to take a lot of selfies on my phone, and her selfies on my phone were what I was inspired from.
The piece was painted with watercolor on paper, the reason why I chose watercolor is because it is easier to express feelings with. I used colors that are very vibrant in order to show the energy inside her. However, I used water to express the feeling of emptiness without her in my daily life.
