Shelley Yang, 12, My Room - Perspective Illustration, 9 x 12 in - Alcohol Markers

While blue and orange are my favorite colors today, pink has always held a special place in my heart. Pink has been the color of my bedroom for 14 years, as I chose the color when my family moved into our first house. 

"My Room" offers a 2-point perspective portrayal of my actual bedroom and my idealizations. The framed artwork in "My Room" is one of my favorite art pieces I made, "Best Wishes". The work mirrors the multiple pieces I created and display in my room. The bedframe and size reflect my physical bed, and the octopus plushie on the bed represents my love for plushies. However, the color scheme and amount of pillows show an idealized version of what I would like my room to look like. What initially began with the simple decision of pink walls has since evolved into a series of choices that collectively define "My Room" as a true reflection of my personal taste and identity.
