I chose to do a portrait of Jaclyn that I took last semester at the tennis courts. I knew that I didn’t want to just use simple shapes for the pixels. Instead, I chose to use smiley faces, because Jaclyn is really funny, goofy, and happy. I am really glad I have a friend like her 🙂

Because her tongue is sticked out in the photo, I immediately thought of dehydration and water.
