Everyone has their own memories about their high school experience. I was not particularly happy at that time in my life. I was anxious, shy, and uncomfortable in my own skin. I always felt unable to meet the expectations that were requirements for being socially successful in high school. I was not bullied or teased; I was just not paid attention to. With this project, I have revisited that time in high school from the point of view of where I am now. Some of these portraits are from my own senior year yearbook and others I randomly selected from the internet. I have history with a few of the people I painted and most of them I never knew. They are not nostalgic pictures nor do they demonize the people portrayed. By looking at them objectively in that way, I can view them from where I sit now and realize I have progressed. I have changed and grown. Whether or not they have, I don’t know and it does not matter. I am able to see that they were just kids, just like me, with the same fears and insecurities that I had. I can affirm that my journey is taking me in the direction I need to travel. I hope that the viewer can look at these paintings and review their own journey since that time and whether it’s where they want to be going.
