In high school we go through many changes: physical and mental, relationships, academics and emotions. These past few years we have also endured Covid 19 and isolation. This virus has had a huge impact on children, and high school students in particular. My piece shows the impact of all these worries. I have my hands in my hair and a troubled expression on my face. The mirrored effect emphasises the gravity of the situation. Even the orange coloured background adds to the mood of concern and stress.
