A Distance Called Time

My artwork explores the theme “Together and/or Apart” through a colour pencil drawing of a photograph of myself as a baby. I chose this image because it represents the beginning of my life and allows me to reflect on how much I have grown and changed over time. The theme relates to my artwork because, although I am physically separated from my younger self, that little girl will always be a part of who I am today. As time passes, I move further away from my childhood, yet the memories and experiences connected to it remain with me. I wanted to capture the innocence of my younger self and create a connection between who I was then and who I am becoming. I used colour pencil to explore different tones, textures and details, bringing the photograph to life while allowing me to develop my skills with the medium. Ultimately, my artwork represents the idea that we may grow apart from our past, but we will always be connected to the person we once were.
