Art

Piece drawn by Sofia Matheus

---

For as long as she could remember, Sofia Matheus has a great love for art. It’s one of the things she’s passionate about.

“With art, you can express yourself without actually saying anything. You feel really relaxed when you’re doing it, and you just focus on that, and you don’t need anything else…. I like all forms of art, even those that make you feel uncomfortable. Not every piece was made for your pleasure… All art, every piece, is interesting.”

Sofia also loves literature. She enjoys reading the work of authors such as Edgar Allen Poe and John Green. Sofia would much rather stay home and read books or draw than go out any day.

“When you’re doing things that you like, it feels good… that alone is better than some medicines.”

– Sofia Matheus, Student, 14
