I started this piece at the beginning of my sophomore year for a project. We had to select someone important to us and create something to show their expression and personality. I had recently attended a summer program at SCGSAH. I had not only learned an incredible amount of new material in only two weeks, but I had also made friends with some of the other art students as well. We all stayed in touch for a long time after the camp, and I became really close with one of those friends, a boy named Nate. When this project came around I didn't want to pick some random celebrity, I instead decided to pick this boy I had met at a summer camp. At the time it was just a school project, but it eventually became one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever created. As the piece developed, so did my relationship with Nate. Over time his personality and how I perceived him absolutely blossomed through this art piece. Reves et souvenirs: Daydreams and Memories.
