I feel in my heart that I am lost. I am lost in a different ocean that I was used to.
I am lost in an ocean of people, of buildings, of noise.
I grew up in a calm and small beach city, I loved to feel the breeze in my hair, the sand under my feet, and the laughs of my friends.
I moved to work in one of the biggest cities in the world, São Paulo, known as the concrete city, to expand my horizons and get totally out of my comfort zone.
I am happy now, but isn't life crazy?
I shifted my ocean, and my horizon.
This image speaks to my heart and represents my past, in my childhood playroom with the comfort of my home town, my friends, family, and the sea nearby.
But it also refelcts my present, through the window, i see the concrete city, a cold and not really comfortable one.
This image also represents my future, where I know that regardless of where I am going, my essence will always be within me.

When I saw the challenge description I imeadiatly created the image that I wanted to represent my story in my head, but I knew it would be a challenge to work on it because it would be a ludical and artistic image. As I usually work with interior design, I never work with imaginarium cenaries like the one that I proposed myself to do. I really got out of my confort zone and enjoyed myself by doing it. I am really glad to share with you the final image.
You will see my sketch by hand, when I was thinking about the placement of the elements in the composition to make it interesting. And through the process I also did some lightning tests
