Artist Statement:

When making this artwork, I learned a little bit about dark and light: why did I have to color dark in some places and light in others. If I hadn't done this artwork, then I would be confused about this. It changed into an amazing picture. Do you know why I love making art? Because, my dream is to be an architect, so that's why. I am really proud of myself.
