Project Reflection
My power comes from Anorexia. I never thought an eating disorder could empower me but the lessons learned through that experience are what made me the person I am today, it is caused me and mom to have a stronger bond. Try to picture anorexia in your mind, What do you see? I picture bones as a way of representing or symbolizing it. I chose to symbolize anorexia in that form in my painting, more specifically a rib cage and hipbones. Half of the rib cage is a rose with leaves making up the bone structure of how a normal rib cage would look like. The rose represents my mom because without my mom I wouldn't have overcome this eating disorder, I wouldn't have gone to physical therapy to heal my hip, she is the reason why I learned to accept myself.
The biggest challenge I encountered throughout the painting process was having to stay after school not only for me but for my parents because it is complicated for them to pick me up later than 3:30. Also painting overall is a challenge, our teachers had set very high expectations for both our story and painting but painting was a whole new experience, we had no knowledge on how to do certain techniques in order to make our paintings stand out more.
I feel the most proud of my background because doing a gradient was really challenging, it took me about 7 hours to do it, during those 7 hours there were plenty of times were I felt like giving up, frustration took over me to the point were I rushed parts of the backround causing me to mess up the main objects in my painting and that only gave me more things to work on but I eventually fixed it and at the end those 7 hours of work time payed off.
I will take this habit of hardwork into the future by putting my heart and soul into everything I create.

Throughout my whole life I had heard about eating disorders and how damaging they were. My power comes from my mom and accepting myself after struggling with anorexia. I discovered it at the beginning of this project. My biological root is the skeletal system, your bones what hold you up, your support system. After overcoming anorexia my mom is what held me up, what allowed me to keep going. In my art Piece, I decided to represent my mom as the ribcage and hip bones since she is what help me up.Half of the ribcage is a rose with thorns and leaves to symbolize how there is beauty in pain and how struggling makes you grow.
