"Little darling, your skin thick, thick, it grows. See, deep brown eyes do glow. Warm vessels go flow, flow, flow"

Senior Thesis Illustration 2023-2024 - Massachusetts College of Art and Design
Through both physical and psychological trauma, I have been awestruck by the resilience of the intricate cells that healed and gave birth to a renewed version of myself. I survived a car accident that shattered my pelvis and fractured my skull, causing internal bleeding. No one knew if I would ever return to who I was, and in truth, I never did.
Like a seed carried on the wind, my path was uncertain. Yet when I finally landed somewhere solid, I adapted, using the resources around me to grow into a new self. No longer merely a survivor or a drifting seed, I became a solid oak, my bark hardened and strengthened through the passage of time.
These experiences inspired me to explore the concept of resistance in nature and to reflect on how all life and objects on Earth are interconnected, a continuous cycle, a circle of infinite reincarnation. For my thesis project, I began with the foundation of the Earth, mud and rocks, and traced the evolution of biology and technology, representing this intricate, interconnected cycle of life.
creation: I started by forming from the deep deposits of the earth, the very ground where life decays, transforms, and is born anew.
digitalizing: Uploaded and living within a space shaped by numbers and algorithms.
Singular to wholeness: Like the cells that gather to sustain life, the once-whole skull, now divided, reshapes itself into a new form of being.
A poem from me to you representing the power of resilience found within
Little Darling trip and fall, stumble forward you go harsh winds swing through your vessel So So Cold
Little Darling blind as a mole, you wonder to and fro hands clasped tight until Blue Blue they go look, your shoulders bend down to your toes
