These art pieces reflect my interests and identity. Inspired by the ocean, my San Diego roots, and my zodiac sign, I combined fashion and technology in this piece. I designed a simple yet complex corset featuring hand-painted pearls and shells carefully arranged for color and placement. The LED lights, brought to life with help from my collaborator, are the centerpiece of my concept.
Every detail was intentional. I used gold and silver metallics, typically seen as clashing, to highlight the beauty of mixing the unexpected. Incorporating technology was a personal challenge, as I often struggle with it, but I wanted to push myself and prove I could create something I love.

Inspired by the ocean, I combined the symbolism of astrological water signs with the art of makeup to create this look. Water, a crucial element of our planet, was the foundation for this mermaid-inspired makeup, embodying emotion, creativity, and the intuitive flow of nature.

Sticking with my theme but combining my musical instrument (ukulele) with literature, to create a song. Using Adobe Audition with multiple tracks to create this final product. The combination of ocean waves and ukulele music ties everything together, bringing the beachside love story to life.
Ending my final project with music and along with all my other art pieces, were all a meaningful and personal choice. Music has been the starting point of my creative artistic journey, and will always have a place in my heart.
