Being the first to go up and present my work was terrifying, especially in front of the totally unexpected audience. I blanked for about 30 seconds on one of my pieces and at that point I just felt like I was going to fail the rest of the presentation. But when it got to my homage artist - Ryoji Ikeda, somehow I managed to regain my passion about his work and mine. 

In all honesty, my heart feels so empty and hollow right now because I know that today is really the last day of legitimate art classes. All my friends in the class have shown their progress over the span of a year, we have grown together, and it tears my heart out to know that I will never be together with this amazing group of people in that tiny little studio next year. 

Art twelve, I’m gonna miss you <3
