What Defines You

"The elements that make up who you are are desperately needing to be recognized, and often just aren’t by many people due to a lack of direction that is often caused by issues consisting of stress and many other factors. "

The Human Contribution

"The overall theme of the exhibition is the beauty of nature and the human. I like to explore the themes of nature in the eyes of human as well as the human who is connected to nature -- they become serene, still, encapsulated within beauty that is hard to describe -- peace."

Silhouettes

"The overall premises of my exhibition is what I called major adjustments I did over the past months. With a few changes including the artist I’m inspired by and the technique I’m using."

Human Interaction with Nature

"By immersing the viewer in the theme of human interaction with nature, I hope to make them feel as if they themselves are the ones interacting with those natural scenes."

Emotions

"For my exhibition, I wanted to explore how people react to global changes, specifically within the last year. One way that I felt this could be uniquely explored was through emotions, and how emotions can be represented through a variety of motifs."

Reverie

"In this display, I wanted to show the audience some methods individuals may use to escape their unpleasant realities and how and why they embrace more enjoyable imaginative realities."

God's Love

"In creating this body of work I am hoping to convey the message of God's love for humanity, and how this idea can shape the way in which we see ourselves."

Metamorphosis

"The curatorial theme I have chosen is inspired by Rhopalocera (butterflies) and their metamorphosis cycle."

Her Identity

"I wanted my compositions to showcase the physical representation of the human psyche through surrealistic imagery."
