NINA JBANOVA - BELOW THE SURFACE

Below the Surface (2022)
Nina Jbanova, 11, Elizabeth Ziegler Public School
(Tempera and Permanent Marker on Paper)

This piece was created during the soggy month of November when I needed something a little more joyful than what was outside our classroom window. I allowed myself to be carried away as far as our art rubric allowed (which wasn’t that far), but I poured every tiny piece of my soul into it. That effort, the time, the joy, even the noise of my classmates around me... I tried to put every single little remnant of it into it. I feel it through the art.
