Postponed 8th grade graduation during Covid Pandemic.

This photo was taken in May of 2020 when are supposed 8th grade graduate would have been. Unfortunately, due to Covid it was cancelled. But, we were allowed to go to the front of the school, take our mask off, and get a nice photo of ourselves. I also decided to grow my hair out during then and it got to the point where it was crazy long, as it is nearly covering my eyes in the picture.

For the pictures I had creative control over, I decided to choose growth as my overall theme. So, with the plant still being behind me and my painting of this colorful Murakami flower, represents my personality and how I perceive life. We decide to get up each day to experience life, regardless of the hues it brings, we have to grow from every experience we face.
Since my overall theme was growth, I included images of me as a kid to the right with some lighting to display my face. Then, I had two plants one being my a pothos plant and the other is unknown. The physical pictures to the right of me, and the plants to the left of me can represent a double entendre. As you can see my actual growth with your eyes with the photos of me as kid while looking at the plants to the left as a metaphor of internal growth.
This is me in August of 2021 as a 10th grader.
