bummer summer
“A reflection on grief and loss during the season when everything around feels most alive. The clash of sunshine-soaked long days against the dark murkiness of sadness. Learning how to take it all in, the bad with the good, allowing one to turn over into the other like the bloom & wilt of nature. Snap shots from tough summers that once felt mundane now hold weight because of the time they preserved. Finding something to keep in all these little moments, piecing them together to make something bigger. Taking notes from the flowers, present in both celebration & mourning, and depicting them in various ways to see how far they can be abstracted yet still identifiable. Recognizing the similarities to that of grief—to see it in all its forms, and to hold it tenderly.”

sad & at home because i'm sad & at home
“A musing on the cyclical nature of things.
Physical markings of loops represent abstract thoughts caught on repeat. A spiral drawn replicates the mind’s ability to head in a downward motion.
The action of making becomes a form of emotional processing: a meditation, each mark and each choice (texture, color, line) becomes a thought drawn out, quite literally. Thus one informs the other, another continuous cycle.”

self
“A self portraits series attempting to understand identity throughout time, serving as a record to changes. Rather than portraying the physical self as a whole, pieces & perceptions of identity are captured. In this way, they extend beyond a single version self at a given moment, rather a cumulation of identity.”
