This piece ponders the internal struggle about one’s purpose in life. Even when you’re within the depths of the abyss, anyone can have that epiphany. The message I’m communicating is reflected through the contrast of the pitch-black background and the pale-white lady. The process for creating this piece enhances its meaning. At first, I wasn’t sure how to portray her – most ideas seemed depressing or mediocre. But after some careful thought, I decided to reflect my state of mind onto the piece.
