Bubblegum Wisdom
This piece is a mixed media portrait born from nostalgia and empowerment. Constructed from vintage book pages, sheet music, and bold ink lines, the piece captures a confident, modern woman who chews through life with style and resilience. The collage elements—fragments of literature, lyrics, and affirming words like “PEACE,” “LOVE,” and “STRENGTH”—serve as a tapestry of inner thoughts and outward identity. The bubblegum becomes a playful rebellion, while the surrounding text whispers messages of balance, courage, and creativity. Through this work, I explore how ordinary materials and fleeting expressions can reveal timeless truths.
