BFA Drawing
Through my work, I aim to convey the inner workings of my mind and share how I have
experienced the world thus far. I reflect on my youth, highlighting the events that have shaped me into who I am today. I delve into my trauma and experiences with anxiety and depression, seeking to bring these hidden feelings to the viewer's attention in order to foster connection and broaden their perspective.
I incorporate monstrous elements and human portraits as representations of significant moments in my life. By using texture and contrast, I evoke the tangled emotions we encounter daily. Mixed media serves as another tool to emphasize the roughness and unpredictability of life. I believe that my artwork can transcend the canvas, reaching out to the viewer as they engage with it in a three-dimensional space.
