I think it’s important to have closure in any relationship that ends — from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.
my pieces for one of my finals! all gouache with digital touch ups. my concept behind these was essentially “people that look like their rooms”.
going beyond that, i was thinking about how essential having and creating my own space outside of the confinement of my parents’ home has been. making that space truly look and feel like me, as i create that me simultaneously in a way i haven’t been able to before, has been extremely important to my mental health/developing identity.
