Artist Statement: The overall idea of the photograph is that these are things that are really important to me. I chose my dog and my sister because they are both a part of my family and I love taking pictures of them. I chose the grips because gymnastics is a big part of my life. I chose the flowers because we moved last week and these flowers were given to my family from my grandparents to celebrate the new house. I chose the candle because I love candles and the candles make my new house feel more like my old house. These things are all really important to me so I picked them for this project.
