"The practical piece “Neither Here nor There” is an acrylic on canvas. The overall concept of the piece was to illustrate the confusion and struggle teenagers face trying to find their place in the world. I used the three figures to represent different personal identities and how I am defined around different people. In the center of the piece, I illustrated myself in school uniform representing the large role I play as school captain. Either side of that character stood conflicts of interests as I represented different sides of my personality. One character which is spiritual holding a candle, representing a side of myself which is deeply connected with my environment and my beliefs. The other character represents rebellion and is surrounded by cigarettes, bongs, disco balls and pills. All of which are temptations for all young people."
