Emotion in space
Waterfront
Watercolor on paper
38.1 cm x 30.5 cm
This piece displays an undisturbed front of water, celebrating the ability to find nature and peace from an otherwise loud city. The use of line and color to create objects within the water blends the two distinct subjects together, illustrating the co-existence of urban architecture and nature.

Aromatics
Acrylic paint on paper
58.4 cm x 45.7 cm
The juxtaposition between the delicate aromatics and herbs with the crude background shows the ability to find beauty in any space. Through the contrast of green and white colors with the black frypan along with the gradient of tones in the frypan, an elegant subject is created from a seemingly primitive setting.

A day in the lab
Charcoal, newspaper, acrylic paint on paper.
45.7 cm x 39.4 cm
The use of newspaper and dark red colors creates unease and stress within this work depicting a school supply room for the lab. By crowding together various media with a vibrant red color contrasting the white walls, the concentration of subjects within the foreground of the work creates various points of emphasis, forcing the audience’s eye to wander around aimlessly.

Hushed Library
Charcoal on paper
59.7cm x 44.5 cm
My art depicts the serene setting of a library, a recluse of quiet from the bustling outside world. The emphasis of light and dark with clear, sharp definitions of shadows through the use of line portrays the lack of movement and tranquility found within the space.

Glare
Photography
30.5 cm x 22.9 cm
Light shining from the computer screen onto what appears to be some kind of paper producing two areas of clear emphasis within the work. Through the contrast between these subjects and the black background, an ominous, seemingly endless void is made, symbolizing our current obssesion and reliance on electronic devices.

Distortion
Photography, Digital photo montage
30.5 cm x 22.9 cm
A very abstract perception of space is made here, with objects and perspective both being radically distorted from a realistic point of view. By piecing together objects in an almost fantastical manner, the work illustrates the warped sense of both space and time we suffer from, permanently stuck indoors throughout the pandemic.

Shatter
Photography, Digital photo montage
22.9 cm x 30.5 cm
This work shatters the concept of space, placing foreign objects among a broken bed to highlight feelings of restlessness from an otherwise calm space. The bright background contrasting the dark foreground and objects creates a sense of disjointment, showing the emotional disconnect a bedroom brings during the pandemic, when everyone is locked indoors.
