I have trying to find a theme to fit my body of works. Although since all my pieces have a somber tone I was still unsure how to tie all these pieces together. The I began to think about what was similar elements. I thought back to one of the first pieces I did at Emma Willard of a dystopia with robot hands reaching for the sky. I realized that it wasn't the sadness that my art is focused on. Instead it's the hope contrasted with the sorrow one feels, and the dream that one can change.
