The Explanation Behind the Photo:
I recently watched a video about students who struggle with domestic violence in their own homes and the victims explained school was their escape from reality. It was a distraction and a way to keep them motivated. Due to social distancing kids are trapped in homes surrounded by abuse. What being quarantined meant for me was drastically different. I have been given time for technology, creativity, work and online school. Makeup has always been a source of creativity for me. I started dabbling in makeup in high school as a way to keep my mind and body busy when my mindset was weak. I soon began to appreciate the power of makeup and it's ability to portray beauty, pain, fear and how it could even tell a story. Makeup took me to a different place it opened my eyes to various opportunities and ideas. I have now learned makeup is sometimes used to mask reality not enhance. You are not able to dream in a toxic environment and I wanted to bring focus to this topic because we are going through an pandemic right now and a lot of issues can go unnoticed and I don't want this to be one.
