Journal: Ryman’s A5 Soft Cover Sketchbook Medium(s): Acrylic paint, ink, washi tape, black gesso, melted crayon, ephemera Status: Complete Notes: This journal documented an emotional and difficult time, I'm only sharing select pages from it. It was originally supposed to document a couple of months in Los Angeles, but I cut the trip short in April due to my dad becoming ill. My grandmother also passed away in June. I found out I had been selected for an internship in LA starting in September but I was torn about moving across the world.
