The Book in the Sky
Ahsaki Hawkins

In this piece of art, the book represents knowledge, and learning. A book can give you something you never known before, something useful, or something that can come in handy later on. A book can give a person ideas, imagination, and inspiration. The back ground is a night sky because at night, a person dreams. In this case, dreams are like your goals, and what you want to achieve. The hand on the book means that there is a person. A person with dreams and goals and this person wants to learn more in order to achieve their goals. This is made out of rice because it is dedicated to my mom who grew up poor and on a farm, but she was smart and was able to achieve success when she grew up.
