Photo Collage on Digital
This artwork is representative of the divide between perception and reality of identity. The figure and environment are morphed together to exhibit a muddled sense of identity and how one's environment is often mistaken as the sole indicator of who they are.

Me
2020
This collage depicts the journey of discovering one’s identity and learning how to love and accept ourselves. The vibrant, and pastel colors along with the black calligraphy and the variety of different fonts depict the idea of learning how to love yourself will be different and unique along the way, with lots of positive outcomes and struggles to occur, a constant trial and error path along the way. Each person’s path and the roads they take will be different. This is my journey.
