Date of Completion: January 2022

Elucidation: ‘OVERPASS’ is an 8.3” x 11.7” multimedia done on cold pressed painting paper. It is done in water paint and pen. This painting was inspired by the place I often envision myself at whenever I wanted to get an escape of reality. In my country there are not many places like this snd unfortunately I never got the chance to visit the few we have because. Despite the circumstances, whenever I went through a rough patch I would close my eyes and relax and imagine a place the one above. The bridge represents the path of crossing from a dark and sombre place to a much clearer and vivid headspace.

Elucidation: ‘LAMP’ is a craftwork project I decided to take up on my own. I made a lamp stand for my music notes from scratch using tree barks and wood. The chandelier around the lamp was made from dried leaves and Bougainvillea flowers. The reason why I decided to do this project was because I went to an all boys school after they decided to introduce girls in the system. There were 12 girls in total, however I was the only girl that played the piano and drum kit. As a result I spent most of my time at the schools music Centre. The piano faced a window and through that window was a beautiful Bougainvillea flower garden consisting of those flowers in different colors. So this piece was a reminder of the place I spent most of my time playing instruments that I love.
