Reflection
I came up with the idea for my piece by taking time to think about what nature did for me and my mental health. The way that nature comforts me no matter what when I'm having a hard time was what inspired me to make this piece. It always seemed like nature was embracing me every time I was outside. The wind brushes through my hair like my mom used to when I was little girl and it feels like the plants come to greet me every time I go out which made me really comfortable every time. Being creative makes me really grateful that I am gifted with this talent and makes me feel special and happy. Connections to Nature made me realize what a big role nature plays for me in my life. Yes, I appreciated going outside and practicing my sport or just hanging out with my sister, but this project made me realize that nature is kind of a necessity in my life!
