" Youth Let's dive into the chaos--of youth: Youth is the confusion of infinite possibilities and wanting to escape from the inanition of reality at times. The bubble gum symbolizes the naive and childhood dreams of a person. Growing up is painful, and often means oppressing true feelings; tears become chains falling on the on bubble. The weight of the gears on the earring pulling you down, but you need to stay calm.
I want to capture my ideas into what anyone can see and experience, because everyone is unique, but the basic emotional conflicts are the same. "
