Art

Art often represents how we feel inside, acting as a mirror to our emotions. This painting was created a little over two years ago, during a time when I felt alone and abandoned at my dad's condo. I had suddenly become his caretaker as his health was declining, and I found myself cooking and cleaning like Cinderella. I felt incredibly sad and isolated. You can see the puppy I bought myself next to me in the painting—a small comfort in a tough time. A few weeks after finishing this piece, I ran away to Arizona, and that was the last time I spoke to my father.
