Junior Josie Nguyen created this drawing for the National Art
Honors Society with the theme of reflection. Taking mirror sel-
fies and experimenting with filters, Nguyen settled on one that
changed her reflection to color, leaving herself in black and
white. The filter inspired her drawing, with the colored reflection
symbolizing her soul when she creates art, Nguyen said.
