Artwork Description:

Listening to opinions and comments that come from external or unfamiliar places can either cure or cripple someone, and its an issue that grows, the more we spend time online. This piece was inspired by the belief that no matter the feedback we get about something that weve made, or something that we have, sometimes none of it is enough to override what we already believe about ourselves and whatever were doing - especially when that belief is essentially a faith that we have in ourselves, or in God. Thus this piece is a message of encouragement, a call to filter or drown out the unnecessary noise of some opinions, because even while hearing different perspectives is helpful, it can lead us to ignore our own inner voices and cause us to be misled by people who may know nothing about us.
