As an artist, I use art to express my feelings. In Blurred Paint Strokes, I showcase my feelings about school during the pandemic. That feeling of truly being drained and confused. During the pandemic school feels isolating, depressing and miserable. Not how Grade 9s are supposed to feel during their first year of high school or Grade 12s their last.
Using a black and white blurred theme, I painted my feelings on a canvas, not only mine but the feelings of high school students across the world. This painting represents a question every high school student is asking themselves, ''When will this be over?''
