Through this theme of “Youth Identity”, I choose to draw this piece of artwork to represent the meeting of an unfamiliar identity called friend(s). This is because looking back at my childhood, I have been greatly influenced by friends in many ways: fashion sense, hobbies, logical thinking, and even sense of humor sometimes. The more I get to know and meet more friends, the more I am introduced to other new identities existed in this world e.g. technology, knowledge, or interpersonal skills. Thus, I think that the unfamiliar identity of friends that came into my life has built up a great part of my youth identity, and that the simple introduction word “hello” has brought me to meet them.
