Is my artwork stored anywhere on my phone?

Last October, my phone bricked. I've spent multiple hundreds of dollars on repairs, spoken to professionals, searched through threads with the exact same issue, and tried any sort of backwards method you can think of to fix it.

I've never gotten over losing countless drawings from over the years. It was silly of me to not back them up via cloud. Redrawing them isn't an option, especially since a lot of them are sentimental in the sense that I drew them when I was significantly younger. I feel genuine grief for this lost artwork, and it weighs on me significantly.

I'm contemplating hiring a data recovery specialist to get some files off my phone (not as simple as plugging it into a computer and copy pasting them over), but I'm wondering if, in any capacity, my artwork is saved in any crevice of my storage without it being backed up to the cloud.

Please don't ask me questions such as "Have you tried X?" because I can guarantee you either I, or one of the professionals, have tried it at least once.
