I am very interested in learning more about the interwoven connections between human and nature. While making my piece, I had thought about the connection of the age and condition of humans and nature. Instead of wrinkles, they are replaced by dry, dirt land. There is also a streak of grass and blooming flowers that trail off of the bees, which depicts that even in the driest lands, there is life. This design on the hand reminded me of a tapestry, which is given in my title. I wanted to represent the connection between time and nature, and how they correspond with one another.

Creativity can be expressed in many different ways. However, creativity comes from one specific origin; yourself. It means to explore, in ways you have never before, and try mediums you’ve never been exposed to. You might even discover something new about yourself in the process of being creative.
