I decided to include one branded upon its own back to symbolize the struggle against inner demons. Also, infinity represents disabilities, whereas ableism is conveyed through the black butterflies. I thought the work was lacking in sharper, more unique details, but I sought to compensate with the varying tones of purple and pink. I want to keep exploring texture and keep learning about folklore. This project allowed me to explore color. The making of this work exposed new ideas such as discrimination.
