That happened to me today. In my final BFA capstone class, called Thesis, I showed a PowerPoint of my previous artwork. Thanks to BFF Power (yes, my best friend literally called me and told me exactly what I needed for this class), I decided to share my big plan.
I hope to make between 5-10 portraits of people who recovered or are recovering from self-harm. After I finished my presentation, I sat back down as most people left to take a break. When I had first walked into class, I sat down next to a girl I have seen around school for the past few years, but never talked to. I had a feeling to sit right by her today.
As others were out getting a drink or stopping at the restroom, this girl told me how much she liked the idea about creating the images of people recovering from self-harm. She told me about some of the people she knew who were currently struggling with this. She had tears in her eyes. I never would have imagined this would be our first conversation. I am loving this class and feel so grateful to be part of all of this.
