The cloud patterning of the canvas represents vivid daydreaming, more visible on the top as my head is always in the clouds, loud, and brimming with ideas and more.
The gramophones represent the music I listen to, it represents how music can inspire me and itself help generate ideas and fuel my imagination. In turn, it’s mostly stories, Stories I want to share, which is why the gramophones ride atop the books filled with different genres, because music helps generate story ideas.
The piano represents the music and feelings I want to express, and that I play the piano as well. And the color represents my imagination, my way of expression, of trying to express and get my imagination out.
