My name is Gaby and this is my little dog Yoda. I recently transferred from GRCC, and I am a junior. I've lived in Michigan for five years, although I'm originally from Colombia🇨🇴. I speak Spanish as my first language and am constantly working to improve my English. I have a deep love for arts. In my spare time, I love to paint, sketch, photograph, play the ukulele, and enjoy the beauty of nature. I am majoring in graphic design with a minor in marketing. Since I love learning about art, my biggest dream is to one day own a gallery. I hope everybody has a great semester:)
MONEY OVER HAPPINESS
We live in a world where achieving economic status is the goal. Money has a direct impact on happiness, but over time, happiness does not rise as income grows. The artwork is a reflection of how having money in your hands makes you more ambitious to the point where even after amassing a large sum of cash, you focus all of your efforts on a single line of cash while being blissfully unaware of your surroundings. It also illustrates how money depreciates over time and loses its initial value leaving you empty.

"Your Body Is My Canvas"
I really like the word joy that you used. It really describes what pure joy feels like through the photo. -Mercede Larson

Sarah Lucas is distinguished by irreverent humour and the development of visual puns and obscene euphemisms. Lucas frequently substitutes common things for the human body in her compositions. These components merge and develop into visceral, human portrayals of limbs, breasts, and phalli; shapes that are represented in bronze sculptures or as plaster castings. Lucas also draws common analogies to postwar and current British society by appropriating and exhibiting lewd gestures that reveal the absurdity of sexual stereotypes, she subverts the male gaze and the tropes of what is considered feminine or masculine; in a similar vein, her defiant self-portraits invoke the sexual dynamics of the observer and the observed.
Lucas's work questions how we perceive and react to essential components of human experience such as sexuality, disease, and death by pushing the sculptural possibilities of corporeal depiction.
