My artwork shows how even the purest beings cannot always uphold ideal expectations that have been placed onto them. It depicts an angel that is secretly smoking a cigarette while on a work break. She also has many bandages due to her rigorous work as a servant of God. I chose an angel specifically, because they are generally viewed as holy messengers or guardians, and people would not generally expect them to participate in “impure activities” such as smoking.
About the Artist
I'm a senior in high school and have loved drawing since I was a kid. I plan to pursue a career in fashion design at Parsons in the future.
