Description
Here are my treasures.
There is a specific reason I wanted to underline legs in the picture: Because of my disease I had to use crutches for two years, and at some point it seemed that I'd might have been forced to use wheelchair. Fortunately, not long ago I got better medication and now I can walk almost normally again. Because of that I will never again take ability to walk for granted.
I also wanted to portray other things that are most valuable to me. First of all my husband, who has been there for me when I had needed him the most. And then there are my friends. On my right is my best friend who also represents all my friends and family who I love so much!
And of course you can also find the one thing I can't live without: art.

Wow, this is a very touching piece of work. I could tell just by looking at the image that this was something that means a lot to you. Your choice of colors did a good job of evoking something warm in the midst of a dark time.
I'm an athlete, and I never really realized how valuable it is to be able to move around with your own will, and pain-free, until I had a minor accident involving a blade and my foot. I recovered in a few days, but they felt so long because it was so strange and sad to not be able to walk without hurting. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose that ability for good.
Your appreciation for these priceless things really shines through in this picture.
I wish you the best of luck

The feeling of running and jumping is something so many people take for granted... just taking a walk in fact. I've lived in a place where because of the weather and the pollution I can't go outside and walk very much, and even when I do I get sick cus I don't have the strongest immune system. I used to live in a place where I could go outside whenever I wanted and it was never too hot or cold, I never realized what I had till it was gone.
I think this is a really touching piece of work because it highlights something we all take for granted ... something very simple but yet so important. Lovely work.
