A few months into the pandemic, around the middle of summer, I was getting bored. Not bored in terms of nothing to do, but surprisingly, I was getting tired of ads. After watching hours of YouTube and Snapchat every day for months, the ads that I saw became repetetive, and I was really getting tired of them. I was noticing the ads more than the videos I was watching, and I just got tired of it. As a result, I started moving towards more fulfilling things, like being out in nature and playing music on my piano. Surprisingly, I didn't force myself to do these things like I did in the beginning of the pandemic, but they just came naturally to me. The crumpled up magazine page in the corner represents my rejection of advertisements, and the central focus of my piano represents moving on to higher, more fulfilling, natural things.
