I'm Back!

Well... that was a long summer break, but I am back in business now... yay

Prior to this, I was researching different forms of relationships and how they could connect two people. I now want to put myself first and concentrate on my relationship with myself rather than relationships with others.

A fresh mind and a new concept... Identity. Well not just identity in general, but multiracial identity.

Kind of a heavy topic to start out this fresh new project with, but it's important to me, and I am hoping that by the end of this project that it will hold some importance to you as well.

Okay, now let's dive into my thought process and what I will really be touching on.

What exactly is it like to grow up as a bi-racial woman/kid?

Thats essentially the question I am trying to answer. Living in America as a biracial kid is a lonely experience. You may feel split in the way where you feel like you need to "pick a side" or even push away another half of you because you never got "introduced" to that side, or you might feel completely comfortable in your identity. Everyone is different, but i want to tell my story.

My idea for this project is going to be about being split, and how being multi-racial has affected how I see myself. I want to create a semi large scale mixed media piece that communicates this idea.

As of right now this is my favorite sketch I have created so far. It communicates the idea of feeling split, and also inserts a lot of myself into it. I am not to sure about the background and if it is too bland, but i want to continue developing this idea.
