I made this in a graphic arts class I took freshman year of high school. I remember it as a pretty open ended project, so I guess I decided on this. It is inspired from the Unitarian Universalist hymn "Spirit of Life". We sing this song a lot in my congregation and I think everyone interprets it differently. The line "roots hold me close, wings set me free" always gets to me and I don't really even know why. I guess it just is kind of a slap in the face for me, as if saying "you should remember your past, but you have to move on". I've always been relatively good at accepting whatever life throws at me, but it's gotten harder as time goes on. This song is just a reminder to me that it's okay to hold on to the past, but not too much. Because there so much more to do and see in this world. I love this song and I hope I conveyed my love for it through this piece of art.
