Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) Dreams can have meanings and they can provide peace or safety. I created this photograph to express that photography is that dream where it lets me create a safe space to express myself non-verbally. I believe that mental health is important and in creating this photograph I decided to incorporate clouds because it reminded me of my childhood when I would lie down on the grass and look up at the beautiful sky and I would begin to feel a sense of calmness and gentleness; all distractions were muted and everything felt still yet beautiful. The best part was when the sun would shine behind the clouds and the ray of light would fall upon my face. Photography is like that same ray of light that uplifts my spirit and strengthens my hope for a better tomorrow.
