Eating with Friends
Completed June 2022
This piece was a collaboration with two of my friends, within a classroom setting. It presents the different art forms and creative ideas taken from a single image, and how they build on one another. The piece reflects upon how people with diverse ideas can come together to make something they would not have been able to make on their own. .

The piece took on a step by step process of creating based on a interpretable image. The paper was first crumpled up, and my friend drew on the paper, in black, based on what she saw within the organic folds in the paper. After a short amount of time, I was given the paper, and I decided to draw the faces, in black as well. Finally the third and final friend drew in blue and red, and took our original artwork and made it something completely different, a ramen bowl.
Mini Chair Design
Completed January 2023
This chair incorporated both design and mathematical processes. I had to figure out which material best suited the idea for the chair, and what proportions made sense for the arms and back portion of the chair. I also ran into small errors within my planning process, like the reclinement of the chair. To fix this, I added a bent piece of cardboard attached to both the backrest and bottom cushion. This ensured a more comfortable seating position, as it remove the previous 90 degree, upright seating position.
School of Girls
Completed December 2022
The piece reflects on the girl community which has been created through the similar experiences woman go through based on social systems. The girl community can be a huge source of comfort, but is also often over-glorified. As the community grows toxic, inescapable, and tormentive due to the social pressures, which pin woman against each other.
I had to develop layers that created depth, while ensuring that they did not overpower one another. I had to learn where gaps and spaces should be, in order to have each layer present in the final display. Which is why the first layer of stringed beads is so spaced out, as it adds the desired texture, while still allowing the viewer to look beyond it.
