About the Artwork

This is a custom in my tribe, sacrification to the gods. A virgin girl will carry a pot with fire burning in it. While she is carrying it, she will be dancing at the same time. If she is not a virgin, the pot will fall off her head and break. If she is a virgin, she will take the pot and sacrifice it to the gods, safely. This cultural tradition is important to me and I love seeing it when I go to my hometown.

We are a family of four; my parents, my sister and me. We are very connected. We may have issues but we will always love each other. I read, draw,and think about lots of things. I like new things, tacos, chocolate, swimming,..etc. I dislike coffee, cleaning my room and bullies. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I haven’t made up my mind yet.
