Artist Statement:
"I created this art piece shortly after I moved back home to California. My former career had me relocate to Chicago in my early twenties. I did a lot of growing up and tolerated the intense cold. Throughout my time there I resented anything that reminded me of Chicago. However, looking back I almost miss the person I was during that harsh time. I think it was the city that molded me as an adult."
