The unknown of a blank canvas and potential it holds. It\u2019s a reminder to find the creativity in the unknown, that no matter what mess life throws at me, I can adjust and strive to turn it into a work of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I came across the image I wanted quickly. At first, I searched \u201cPainter\u201d, but I thought the pictures of actual people painting took away from the symbolism and made it more literal. I instead chose just a picture of the paintbrushes to allow viewers to imagine their own potential art instead of having an image of someone else\u2019s art in front of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song took a little longer to find. I searched words like \u201cPotential\u201d and \u201cHappy\u201d. \u201cPotential\u201d produced songs that were a little too moody, while \u201cHappy\u201d was too bouncy. I wanted something more neutral and peaceful. I think this song is not only beautiful but evokes the emotion of contentment.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The image and audio I chose to present are enhance and are reflective of what I desire most right now during this extremely hectic time of year: Contentment.
