"Guanyin is the revered Chinese Bodhisattva of compassion and mercy, widely known as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name means "The One Who Perceives the Sounds of the World." This artwork I am working on came from an original drawing I did for an online art class where we learned how to draw Guanyin from looking at an well known Art statue. Key symbols that I am about to add to this painting are willow tree and lotus flower! I love that this sketch came from a class that was only 1 hour and 15 min. It shows us how much we can create if we put our mind and energy into something ! I love seeing my sketches come to life!

Hey 👋🏾 wonderful beautiful souls:💓💛💓 This assignment was based on the Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound the story of a titan punished for giving humanity fire. But instead of recreating the ancient scene, I made it modern. I placed Prometheus in a contemporary environment, a long city street, a building stretching into perspective, a dark sky, a fallen figure, a crow watching over the moment. Prometheus isn’t just a character from ancient Greece. He’s a symbol of anyone who sacrifices, anyone who rebels for the greater good, anyone who pays a price for helping others. Making the piece modern forced me to think differently: What does punishment look like now? What does rebellion look like now? What does sacrifice look like now? This assignment wasn’t just about illustrating a myth it was about translating meaning across time. Working on this piece taught me: A single image can hold an entire myth without saying a word. The posture, the tension, the environment, all of Every element becomes part of the message, especially in a modern setting. Ancient stories still mirror modern struggles. You’re not just drawing; you’re interpreting meaning across eras. Myth hits differently when you place it in a world people recognize. But here’s the part that matters most now: Back then, I ended the piece in darkness a fallen figure, a crow, a lonely street. Now, as a more evolved being, I would redo this piece and end it with a positive memory to reflect on. Because growth changes how you tell stories. Healing changes how you see endings. Wisdom changes what you choose to highlight. If I recreated this today, I’d still honor the struggle but I’d also honor the rise, the resilience, the light, the lesson, the rebirth. Because Prometheus didn’t stay bound forever. This piece taught me that art grows as you grow and sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is revisit an old story with a new heart.
