Nostalgia is something every human feels. My painting, Girlhood, is a piece about grieving the child you once were. The age where you took everything for granted and lived in a constant state of ignorant bliss. Trusting everyone who said you could. The melancholy feeling you get when you remember what it was like to be so naïve and carefree. Girlhood is an acrylic painting of myself as a young girl, depicting a version of myself concentrated on only the sandcastle in front of me. Experiencing girlhood for the first time, and the last.
