For junior Geovanni Perez, drawing isn’t just a hobby; it’s a necessity. Each stroke on the page feels like an extension of himself, something only he can fully understand. 

“When I draw I feel like I have to finish it because it has more meaning than it is to anyone else,” junior Geovanni Perez said.

In these moments, the world around him fades, but he’s still aware of its weight. 

“I feel like my surroundings, the people around me, aren’t there without consequences.” Junior Geovanni Perez added, hinting at the subtle pressures he faces daily.
