Art 21: Barbara Kruger

The next items are chapstick and earrings. I included the chapstick to portray my love for self care and taking care of myself more than just eating and sleeping.

I included this because it shows my favorite person on Earth and all of the fun adventures we have. The mustard orange book is a sketchbook to symbolize my love for art. I am a Fine Arts major and art has always been a large part of my life. The final item
