I Wonder — Illinois State Board of Education High School Division Winner

"I Wonder"

Colored Pencils · 11×14 · Jan 2024

"As children, we all wonder what is out there in the world. This curiosity drives us to learn more about the world every day. As we grow older, we gradually lose our innocence and grow more wary about the world around us. Life becomes more complex, and we have moments where we lose hope and feel like giving up. This drawing of me as a young child, eagerly pointing out the window, is about memorializing the innocence and wonder we have about the world as children. Sometimes we all need to fall back on that and remember our beginnings."
