Winter Wonderland

In grade 2 I had to create a storyboard project based on my family. For some reason that I cannot remember, seven year old me chose this photo to represent my mom and I. I chose this image out of the hundreds of other photographs that we have of us together and this particular piece is looking into this image and the importance and meaning I found in it when I was seven. I don't exactly remember the moment this image captured but I do have memories of growing up in my neighbourhood during the winter season. There was usually a snowman on every front lawn and kids sledding on the hill at the end of my street. I wanted to explore these aspects in my work and show my blurry distant memory of my childhood in the winter.
