Pathway Into the Sunset (2022)

I created this art piece because I like sunsets, but also to tell you that you shouldn’t always listen to others, and your ideas are usually better. I find the contrast from the sunset to the white sun to the message makes my message more apparent, and the beautiful sunset and the fact that the message is near the centre of the piece makes peers more focused on my message. Of course, you should still take suggestions from others, but you shouldn’t have them control you. At the end of the day, you should still make your own decisions. Guide yourself.
