Painting & Drawing
Possession
A collage representing the visual interpretation of a single word, "possession," intentionally chosen before the design process began. The collage elements aim to explore the association of one meaning of the word–– material wealth and ownership–– with another–– the state of being controlled or hypnotized.

Sun, Moon, Stars
This personification of the sun, moon, and stars is the result of being prompted to create a triptych composition that uses both fabric and one found object. The found object I selected was the aluminum foil from spearmint Extra gum.

Walled Persona
In the months leading up to my high school graduation during COVID-19, I became forcefully aware of the contents of my room. It was a deep turquoise shade before I painted it bright orange at the height of boredom in 2020. At the time of creation, I suspected the items on my walls might bring me some sense of familiarity when they hang on new surroundings at college the following fall.
