Artist's Statement
All of the things that I put in the selfie I put in there because they're important memories from my childhood. Back then, even now, I was usually always alone, so I enjoyed my time with my imagination instead. I would organize Pokemon battles in my head using the cards, then actually play them out in the real game with multiple DS's, using the online battles function. I would also spend massive amounts of time using my stuffed animals, including the seal I used for this, in different forms of battle royales with each other. And finally, the fish is one of the best memories I have. I made it in middle school enjoying time with my few friends the whole class. |
