4. What were the inspirations you drew from the artists?
Some inspirations that I drew from the artists are how to incorporate different mediums into my work and also to be open to experimenting with different mediums that are outside what I’m used to.

After watching the videos, I would like to experiment more with my work and put more of my identity into it. I would also like to incorporate more mediums into my work and experiment outside of my comfort zone.
