‘Corbin’. It took nine months to process the idea that I would have a little brother who strangers would never fail to assume was mine. My piece is a representation of all the emotions that having a little brother 16 years younger than myself brings. The colours are a metaphor of the range of moods we each oscillate between. Because of the age difference, Corbin and I share a special bond where his happiness is the basis of mine.
