Artist’s statement: I do my art for my own mental health as art therapy. It has changed my life. I hope to show every range of emotion I have to others. To help others feel. These are the feelings I was reminiscing on when I made “Silent Wishes”: ‘I have spent countless nights wishing under the stars. My fingers spread as I feeling every shift in the air. I wished for a house, food, a place to be at peace. I was only six years old when I started wishing & in this place I still wish with my whole heart.’
