Concrete, specific writing beats flowery, empty prose.
Writing has a strict character limit, so do not waste words on vague statements like "I explored my creativity". State the guiding question and point to specific evidence in the images. Concrete, specific writing tied to what is visible beats flowery, empty prose every time.
Weak: "This piece shows my journey and emotions." Strong (within the character limit): "My question was how texture conveys grief. Here I tore and re-layered paper (image 4), then reworked it in ink (image 5) after a critique." The strong version points to specific, visible evidence.
Writing communicates your inquiry, processes, and ideas within strict character limits. State the guiding question(s) clearly and describe how the work shows practice, experimentation, and revision, pointing to specific visible evidence. Be concise and concrete, not vague.
