My concept for this project is adoption. There are a lot of kids who go through the foster system and sometimes the families are mismatched. Because of this, the child could feel out of place and could lead to a variety of problems. There are a bunch of issues with the foster system but this I feel is an essential one.

For the illustration, I wanted to keep that idea of “mismatch” so I made a puzzle out of the adoption certificate and made a piece of it not fit intentionally. I chose to use a complimentary color palate of purple and yellow as this to me evokes a feeling of emptiness to me as opposed to your typical white negative space
