Heres two of the ideas that went into this:
I remember sitting in my Nanny and Papa's kitchen as a really young kid and wondering why none of the cartoons or movies or even art in museums looked like the homes my family lived in. I tried to paint something like that home here. Thats probably the first artistic thought I remember ever thinking.
Also, its about this Reba song I started thinking about back in 2020. (I grew up with my mom's Reba cassettes, so theres probably a Reba song for every occasion...even pandemics) The chorus goes like this: “Is there life out there? So much she hasn’t done. Is there life beyond her family and her home? She’s done what she should. Should she do what she dares? She doesn’t want to leave. She’s just wondering is there life out there?”
