Part 2 Reflection

When I was younger I never honestly brought the words “I want to be an Interior Designer/ Architect” to life. I never dreamed about being an artist instead I wanted to help people and do greatness. However, honestly this was something that lived deep inside me waiting to one day burst out and become my destiny. As a young child I always went to church with my mom. It was a Roman Catholic Church and often I found myself paying more attention to all the paintings on the walls, the statues and the design of the building itself. I was in awe and it was so evident that my pastor noticed as well, even when he preached. When I was in my last years of high school my deep dark passion refused to be ignored. I no longer wanted to help people in a doctor’s office, I wanted to do it with art. I wanted to be the one to inspire others because lets be honest artist are the ones who really rule the world.

An artist is a person expresses their mind and emotions in a creative way allowing others to have their own interpretations of it. Do I think I’m an artist? Well, honestly I don’t know, am I? Art is different too everyone. What one may see as art another may not. I think I’m an artist but it doesn't mean much if others don’t think that you are or if your work doesn't inspire others. If I am not an artist at this moment i guarantee that I will be. Everyday I am improving and growing as an artistic mind and since that process begun so did the process of becoming an artist.

Every work has a message and the message in my work is everything matters especial those who will function in the space. I keep people in mind because honestly they are the most important part of a space without the people then a perfectly design room is just an ordinary space. When i plan to create something I create it a though it is for me. Another message might be the cliche go big or go home. 

What answers do I seek? I seek the answers to creative freedom. I want to know what can make work not seem like work. What can transform a person when they walk into a building and want to make them be their? What can I do that will start how future buildings be designed?

As a student I look forward that my work as an interior design student can help me grow as an interior designer and become well known throughout the world. I want to start the “new world” revolution of buildings or at least be a huge part of it.
