This piece is a rasterized  photo of me with the code over it, communicating an idea of interwebbing human and technological consciousness and the confusion that lies within that intersection; Dehumanizing myself by pixalating my face, I pay homage to my connection with coding and computers while highlighting the uncomfortability of hiding behind an internet-driven persona.

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.

    This Japanese proverb revolves around the idea of  uncontained and out of control anger, typically inflicted upon the body. In perspective of the content of this piece, this proverb communicates a general discomfort of the body, shown through imagery of self harm on a figure study accompanied by a journal entry expressing discontentment of personal progress.

    Through a common motif of an apple, this theme explores the feeling of rotting from the inside out. An apple, starkly contrasting the cartoon nature of the piece, represents major change and shedding one’s skin (both metaphorically and literally). Depicting themes of self harm, dissociation, and apathy, this piece depicts a world where digital environments intermesh with one’s real envrionment to allow escapism to occur internally and externally.

    First in the apple motif series, this piece is a mixed media collage using Japanese instructional textbooks, found polaroid photos of me, as well as beads and buttons that depict aspects of my identity.


  • Grief: Former Self


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.  



  • Grief: Questioning

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.





    sometimes i ask myself questions. do you?

This piece tackles tough themes of mental health through the projection of questions that I have most commonly searched in the past 5 years post-suicide attempt. While I recovered in the hospital and in mental health treatment, I found myself googling many questions to help ease my anxiety and uncomfortable warped self-image. This video not only projects those questions, but video footage from tough stages of life: relapses with anorexia nervosa and “body checking,” drug abuse and addiction,  and  domestic abuse; Moreover, flashing on a  background of me crying, these flashes are quick reminders of permanent impactful stages of my life.
    Fear and Boredom

Procreate
2025


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.
