Artist Narrative

From an early age, I never sincerely thought about how important art could impact my everyday life because I was taught that a kid can never be mature enough to make their own decisions, let alone make ultimate decisions about their life by themselves. No one in my family consists of any artistic talent or possess a creative nature, but I believe I am different compared to my family members.

I’m an immigrant child from Vietnam, a country in South East of Asia. My whole family moved to America when I was about 13 years old, with hopes for a better and brighter future as we lived in America.

Eventually we started Cabin in The Wood, a project including a cabin, smoke flying out of the chimney, and surrounded by a ton of trees. Since this was the first project, Mr. Conner didn’t expect us to have too many details in the drawing. It was a struggle looking for the right tools and that took me so much time.

At that moment, a thought immediately appeared in my head: “I want to be just as good as him.” That thought kept playing in my head for days and I knew that this was what I was going to do for my senior project. Even though, I didn’t have much experience using Illustrator yet, but I got the passion from Mr. Conner so what I needed was just to try harder. Luckily, I am slightly creative so small projects could not make any difficulty for me. Of course, we were given more projects towards the end of the year. I didn’t worry that much because I liked it a lot and have fallen in love with this class more and more. My teacher inspired me a lot and made me believe

Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews. The migration of my grandparents and parents, from a young age, cultivated a sense of determination in me to overcome obstacles.

When I was young I wasn’t necessarily interested in art, but what I was truly interested in was color. The way color was associated with an emotion: yellow is happy, blue is sad, red is angry.

Perseverance is the determination to push through the trials and tribulations fate has thrown to test strength. Throughout my life I truly believe I was tested through adversities and my triumphs made me perceive the difference I could make not only to my community, but also to the people I have crossed paths with.
