Artist's Statement
Throughout this trimester I have learned a lot, both in photography and in life. My original selfie was the first time I've ever really edited and I didn't really know what I was doing. My last selfies I feel are the best I could personally make. This trimester has been hard with school but also with dealing with an injury that I'm getting a major surgery for in three weeks. With all this time on my hands that I'm not used to because I'd usually be in dance class with my friends, I have tried to focus on learning how to edit and photograph better. I think I've learned a lot and even though this class was a big struggle for me, I'm glad I took it. My quote, "and the universe said I love you," was taken from the ending scene in Minecraft. My life recently has sort of felt like that scene with my surgery coming up. It's sad that I may never dance again, but there is still some hope and there will be a new beginning coming soon, just like in Minecraft, which I have been playing a lot recently to help me through this tough process.
