This artwork represents the sacrifice people go through in life. I used watercolor to illustrate a person sacrificing themselves represented through red poppies. (Red poppies represent sacrifice in flower language). And I used plastic leaves and flowers to give a lifted look to emphasize depth. I began by drawing out my person and putting a poppy on her face to resemble putting others before oneself. I had painted a green background already, but the fake leaves added more depth and sentiment. In this artwork I wanted to show how sacrifice is a big part of life. It is something that gets overlooked by other aspects such as death, love and remembrance. I used black as her clothing to represent a funeral, her own funeral as she is giving herself up.
