Malibu Rising, 2021
Valentina Alba (b. 2007)
The novel “Malibu Rising”, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, is the pinnacle of muse that this artwork was inspired by. The drawing I have displayed is symbolic to me as it conveys the complex dynamic between a young woman and her father. The main character of this novel is Nina Riva, the daughter of Mick Riva, the neglect of her father has only led Nina to feel isolated and wounded, despite the fact she is wealthy and rich in many aspects of her life, her father’s abandonment has left a profound scar in persona. This tragedy is something I resonate with. It’s an unfortunate connection I found myself making with Nina Riva. However, the way in which she was able to grow from the weight of her emotions is a quality I admire, and a trait I wish to fulfill in the near future. This novel is heartfelt to me as it represents the journey of growth and underlying feelings that one may carry into the world, it conveys the message of perseverance that I believe everyone should understand.
