Bunny looking up | 2016 Original Watercolor Painting

Story. One day, my partner gifted me a fresh-picked flower from our garden. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to experiment with three things: Illustrating directly from my mind, with no reference; having the illustration interact with the flower, so breaking the barrier between actual and imagination; and using only watercolors, which I was still learning how to control.

And I recorded the whole thing, edited the video, and posted it. Then I deleted the video because it lacked views. So I threw the flower away and put my illustration in storage like it never happened until now.

This began the unpleasant journey of defining my worth through views on YouTube. But it is also the beginning of my current journey, where I'm rebuilding my self-esteem and learning my worth.
