Lost in the Past: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Eric Liu (2011)

As a typical high schooler born a generation after the dot com boom and currently a witness of a plethora of new Apple and other technological devices and gadgets enter the lives of millions, I am quite anxious and eager to look for what is next. However, every time I try predicting or foreshadowing the future, I always see my past. It's not backwards thinking; it's more like looking into a rear mirror of car whilst driving. The car resembles the fast pace that life carries me while all the other cars behind and in front of me are everyone else on the road to happiness. The owl in my illustration symbolizes wisdom and curiosity, while the binoculars it is looking through directs what it sees backwards; the owl wants to see the moon but only sees daytime.
