View ArtistMy heart is a symbol of growth and healing. And in my artwork, I use plants as a form to show self-discovery in an environment that may be a little bit fantastical. My heart really is just to show that there are sacred spaces that you can escape to. If you’re struggling with mental illness, if you’re struggling with everyday society problems, that kind of thing. Since the pandemic began, there’s been a lot of, upticks in mental health and mental illness cases in America. We’re kind of in a mental health crisis right now. And so, this project is just a tribute to seeking help, learning more about yourself, reaching deep inside yourself and just really seeing how you can grow through strife.
