Directing Change

The Mountains We Climb

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

This artwork is a representation of what makes me feel empowered. Adventurous outdoor activities fill me with the power to achieve any challenge. The different shades of purple represent how life isn’t just a black and white canvas, but there's an endless variation of color. The variety of purple is my way of looking in between the shades of gray to find my joy, my drive, my power. The abundance of mountains at the bottom show how life comes with many struggles, but if we believe in our own self worth/power we can overcome them. The words above the mountains show how we can always reach for the sky. There are endless possibilities, when we feel empowered.
