Re-MEmbering

I created an Image Manifesto to remind myself of my values and capacities, using words and sentences I learned from the Creative Confidence Course that impressed me and helped me to switch my mentality from unworthy to "I am a worthy creative human being".
I loved the comparison of the colourful-filled jars made by the facilitator of the course, as a person who comes with his or her own colourful experiences. I think it's a beautiful and straightforward visualisation to have in mind before any kind of meeting. So I wanted to portray myself as this unperfectly perfect vase, standing tall with all my beautiful pieces and past experiences that made me into the person I am today.

I have been using Procreate to draw and Adobe Illustrator to write the words and sentences.

What Inspired me the most was the personality of the teacher of this course which somehow brought me back to my childhood when I was exploring art for the first time as a girl before starting Design High School. These memories brought me back to an art piece I made when I was 12 in the art class. It was my portrait made on a piece of glass with a Picassoish style, the pinkish colours I used and the fluidity of the lines + all its errors as a beginner made me really appreciate it for the first time, and made me reflect on how my design studies afterwards somehow limited my creativity and added a strict judgment on my art.
For this Manifesto I tried to un-design myself and only draw with the memories of the child I was and still is inside me:) I left the drawing as first came out without correcting anything with its "not-perfect", choosing colours and writing the text as my 12 years old would have done.
