Just a 2000s Kid

This collection was inspired by my feelings of nostalgia . Nostalgia is such a complex emotion combining both a sense of excitement and sadness with a sense of yearning. As someone with Bipolar Disorder and having to deal with complex emotions, nostalgia was definitely one of interest and one I felt I HAD to paint. This collection kept me motivated to paint even in the hard days and kept me grounded enough in the days I was crawling out of my own skin. It shows the dreamy nature of what it felt like to be a kid in the 2000s. The love for newest toys, the care we had for them, and the up and coming technology we got to be a part of. I hope you feel for these as much as I do.
