Reflection of Identity and Self

Artwork by Jacqueline Wu

Artists Statement: In times of crisis and strife, we need to take time to really reflect on our inner self in order to muster the courage and strength to hang on. We can then learn about ourselves to develop a stronger mental mindset for the present and future so that we can support each other. I created this piece because I wanted to bare my inner reflection and self and show that it’s ok to not be okay. More than ever before, we need to be able to express our innermost thoughts and emotions in order to create a happier, more connected world with less judgement and more love and empathy.
