In April, I submitted Girl to my School’s Gallery for potential scholarships and awards.
I got two.
I would say I got first place in one category of the program. Basically, I got the Art Department Award for “2D Design”..
Then I got another one after that. The school seem to like my painting so much that they purchases it from me! Apparently the “Purchase Award”
I have mix feeling. I am excited. I am sad. I am confused. I am grateful and flattered. In the end, I was able to get over the fact that I was leaving a part of myself to a place that will hopefully take care of a masterpiece I made.
Yes, I consider it one of my first masterpiece and now that it received two awards, it has become worth more to me.
But I believe, as told by many of my mentors, that this will be good for me in the long run. More masterpieces will come and go.
I poured my heart, my soul, my tears, my sweat, and blood into this piece.
My spirit was broken before making this. When I had gather myself up, I had fixed it. I had risen.
Going off topic a bit. In an anime called, “[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control”, the ending song may have been lost in translation but the lyric I caught from School Food Punishment:
It’s your spirit that attracts me
I love this quote.
