“The artworks in my exhibition all focus on the theme of my self expression and how that expression has been shaped, informed, or oppressed by the circumstances around me. I wanted to have pieces that were celebratory, but also pieces that were influential. These artworks focused on conveying meaning through messaging.”
Sign of the Times Collage [37 x 27 cm]
“A collage composed of various headlines from the year 2020, intended to inform and invoke emotion in viewers regarding the rollercoaster of a year it has been. 2020 is commonly referred to as being the worst year humankind has experienced due to the constant stream of bad events. This piece aims to capture the essence of one year in a singular art piece, by means of chaotic juxtaposition and a rough timeline format.”
