Pause – Thao-Vi Do

These past 14 months have allowed me to truly pause and appreciate the little things even though it did take some adjusting and perseverance. Without being able to see my friends and go places, these last 14 months made me cherish everything I had right in front of me. Instead of longing for each day to end, I was given a chance to slow down and acknowledge the things I had taken for granted. For this drawing, the butterfly perched on the girl’s nose represents how quickly things can change. Even if it comes to us unexpectedly, there is always something good that can be found in any difficult situation.
