"Green Dragonfly" by De'Vante, 16 | The Pioneers
To me, this dragonfly symbolizes hope, and also brings a smile to my face. It is so fragile and delicate, but so beautiful at the same time, and when it flies it is so fast and powerful. We all have many sides.
About De'Vante: "I'm De'Vante, I'm 16, and from Madison, Wis. I've made mistakes in the past, but now I'm working on getting trust back from my loved ones. Photography has helped me express the artistic and creative side in me, and there's no better way to do that than taking pictures out in nature."
