Boundless

Christie Tan, 2T3 PB

Artist statement:

Taking inspiration from UofT's slogan 'Boundless', this piece is a reflection of my turbulent experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and my rediscovery of art along the way. As I advanced my educational training from high school to undergrad and now into medical school, it was extremely rare for me to gravitate back to the artistic hobbies I loved so much as a child. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted our status quo, a small silver lining was being able to experience the nature around me to a fuller extent and draw inspiration from places and scenes that I wouldn't normally pause to look at. 'Boundless' is a piece that reminds me to enjoy the present moment despite the challenges and look forward to brighter days ahead.
