Overview
This piece was inspired by my dogs (again) and how I plan to leave home for college next year. I made a replica of my dog's well used bed and added a blue shadow to represent where he usually lays. I thought that this related to my experience growing up, since I will no longer be where I've been my whole life.

Overview
This piece was inspired by my lifelong love for music. I incorporated a vinyl record because collecting vinyl is a huge hobby of mine. The gold on the record and brain represents how music effects all different parts of your brain. I think that is a super interesting fact about music and a big part of why so many people love music.
