My name is Aundia and I love art.
One of the things I love most about art
is that you can see it all around you.
I think nature is the most beautiful art you can look at.
[♪♪♪]
I feel inspired by nature
and it makes me want to paint.

When I look at the river
I see ripples of water,
like a bunch of ripples of water.
Um, the reflection of a few trees.
I actually see a bit of purple and pink
and a really, really pretty light blue.

When I look around
I see art everywhere in nature.
I can see it when the leaves are falling.
It's also like they're dancing.

Today when I was with my grandma
we were looking at a lot of pictures.
When your mommy was about nine
we decided to come out of Iran.
We wanted to come to Canada
because Canada was a place
that all the people
from all backgrounds
lived together in harmony.
We didn't want to be a foreigner in a land.
Do you remember that I taught you
unity and diversity means that
we are all from different backgrounds,
but we are in unity?
When you left Iran, did you feel a bit alone?
Like without any friends?
Did I feel homesick?
Um, I didn't feel that much alone, lonely.
Was there any artists in our family?
Artists? Yes.
Your great grandpa, Baba Yi,
he was a physician
but an artist.

I'm making this collage for my great-grandpa.
My great-grandpa isn't alive
but I think my grandma would love it.
[♪♪♪]
I'm making this art piece
because it makes me think of home.
[♪♪♪]
When I go to my grandma's house
it feels like my second home.
Say a prayer this morning.
