Sprite Study features sprite versions of myself with different feelings, namely fear and boredom in this study. On the top, the expression of fear is captured with scattered pupils, while boredom is expressed on the bottom sprite. Both sprites feature a white hat, which mimics a hat that I wear in the wintertime that I sewed by hand, which is an homage to the character ‘Finn’ from the show Adventure Time.

This piece, centering around body image through aging, features elements such as nude figure studies, a self-portrait, and collaged cartoon-like sketches to create a dichotomy between the adult body and a childlike lens of self-perception.

知恵 (chie)- this translates to wisdom/ to know one's blessings; Contextually, the use of these Kanji conveys a sense of recognition for one's digital impact. Digital footprint both connects and distances many, so our recognition of its impact is the first step to understanding how creation can impact one's destiny, life, career, or simply their expression in a more controllable way than imagined.
いち、に、さん、し (ichi, ni, san, shi)- this translates to the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.
Contextually, these numbers represent our current and future generational exposure to the uncensored and opportunist aspects of the internet, conveying an almost childlike grasp on the internet's actual capabilities; As well as this, it creates a dichotomy of childlike understanding of the internet's capabilities versus exposure and desensitization to the internet since a very young age. It reinforces the idea of endless capability at our fingertips being current/ future generations' "norm" versus the truth that the internet is wildly unexplored and often holds capabilities we are not even aware of as a society.
- Grief: Questioning
- GRIEF STUDY 1

2024
Depicting the idea of self-grief and loss of identity through the process of grieving, Grief: Questioning 1 has three main themes: queer identity exploration, self consciousness, and emotional suppression. These themes are communicated through faces hidden with strong splashes of color to contradict a muted background, along with pasted phrases such as “queer” and “What is said about you?”
Created while I was an undergraduate student, Grief: Questioning 1 personifies a naive fear of self-growth and exploration that I harbored while closeted in my early 20s/ Undergraduate career at Purdue University.

Mixed Media on Polaroid
The sister piece to Grief: Questioning, this 2-part series tackles stronger, more taboo subjects of sexual assault and the grief of self that follows sexual assault. Strong phrases such as “you stripped me of my being,” “my chest feels hollow,” and “when is enough, enough?” are diagonally projected across the body of the individual, placing a strong sense of claustrophobia and lack of escape from judgement.
Made after being sexually assaulted while completing my senior year of college, this piece helped me cope with trauma I had known before. Struggling with self-harm and substance abuse, I maintained sobriety only through artwork as my outlet. Although the assault killed a part of me, I never gave up on myself.

- being alone, or am I just lonely?
MY MULTIPLANE
Mixed media on Wood Panel
WIP, 2025
This piece features central themes of loneliness and depression, using my created code language, Varnese, to encapsulate feelings of secretiveness and a need to hide one’s true feelings.
I created this piece freshly out of a relationship, and this piece thoroughly radiates my feelings of deep depression, worthlessness, and directional uncertainty as I was trying to pick up my pieces again to start anew.

Posca on Wood Panel
2019
This piece, created at 17 years old while in deep psychosis following the death of a friend, was a portrait of myself and how I felt I looked. Within my psychosis, my Synesthesia was heightened, which I personified through various abstracted shapes, patterns, and intense color usage.
