Congratulations to Arya Yazgan, winner of the Junior Teens Category!

Their artwork reflects curiosity, bold creative thinking, creative exploration, and a thoughtful personal response that expresses their unique ideas.

This self-portrait expresses who I am and shows that I love to explore, travel, and discover new places. Instead of drawing a simple background, I filled the space around me with symbols of where I come from, where I have been, and where I hope to go in the future. These places are not just physical locations, they represent the experiences, cultures, and memories that shape who I am.
