“To be honest, I didn’t have any expectations before going on the Summer Camp. I was just super looking forward to being able to get away from the city, especially, during this whole pandemic and everything lately. On my drive up to Camp Wandawega I was surprised to find a million and a half antique stores, which provided some good road trip entertainment. Aside from that, the most impressionable thing was how different my mindset shifted when I saw how green, quiet and serene Camp Wandawega was. I’m not a huge nature fan but going canoeing first thing every morning after I woke up was seriously a treat. I think the rustic structures within all the campsites and the huge lake which I was able to enjoy were two things that My time there definitely gave me a whole new set of inspiration that I’m normally pulling from.


Truthfully, I thought a lot about my partner throughout the whole trip. Because she would've loved the experience and been so ecstatic about everything that Camp Wandawega has to offer. I remember I Facetimed her when I first went canoeing and showed her my surroundings because it was that stunning. After that instance, a whole narrative of “relationships” and “to think of someone” came to my mind. That was the jumping point towards my print. I wanted to depict and gently invoke the questions of “who do you think about? ”and “are things good with them?”
