This work depicts the befuddled feelings had I thinking about my possible career in the future. Thus the lack of colour and understanding. Instead I focused on my interest and hobbies at most. My art depicts a fading girl blown away by the wind, leaving her past and uncovering her near future.
The monotone is what first drew me in and then I was curious about the bigger image. Was it a fish, a squid, an island? I then noticed the possible inlet/profile of a young girl and the icons of learning – music, maths, adventure, sport, chemistry, theatre, health.
