Inspiration: I’ve been experimenting with digital and analog collage recently and I decided to do a photoshoot with my friend Juliana for the purpose of collaging. I wanted to get better at being able to convey a story through a single frame. The color palette is one that’s really inspired me recently and I scanned the image a few times to get the grainy effect.

Meaning: I think the meaning of any art should be subjective, but the meaning I’ve developed for this piece while creating it was the story of a girl raised in a small town who feels like she’s too big to fit in it anymore. It sees her separated from the crowd, and looking up to bigger and better things.

Medium: Photography, Photoshop, scanner, and printer
