Castles Crumbling (Art For Good Collection)

5 x 7 print

This drawing is of someone searching for stability in their life while their very foundation is crumbling. I envisioned the street lamp as an external light: the mentors who show us who we can be or representation of who we want to become, while the flash light is our internal light: the resources and goals we carry with us to take the next step. The juxtaposition of modern light technology and ancient architecture is to show how antiquated society feels for someone who does not fit a straight, cis, white, wealthy, or neurotypical mold and has to navigate a society that wasn't built to support them. My goal with this piece was to take topics like bridges burned, open door opportunities, or pillars in the community and visually depict them in the life of someone trying to find the balance between approval/fitting in and being true to themselves.
