Example: "[Artwork Name] is a heartfelt painting I created to spread awareness on the importance of truly staying safe, as well as the consequences if we don’t, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Too often now do we see the numbers of those infected only rising, with many neglecting safety precautions. I was inspired by my personal experience of nearly losing someone due to this neglect, and through my work, I hope to encourage others to stay wary and informed, so that they don’t come close to losing someone too."
