Two Can Keep a Secret
After a practical joke gone horribly wrong, two frantic teenagers have to brainstorm ideas of how to hide the body of their friend, who they may have accidentally killed. While on a hike, Nick is pushed down a hill by his friend, Brett, as a joke and ends up unconscious. Brett and their friend, Sydney, jump to the conclusion that they killed him. The two think of ways to cover up their crime. Brett tries to use the internet to search “how to hide a body”, while Sydney believes that using acid to dissolve Nick would be the best bet. They argue on their respective ideas before coming to the agreement that burying Nick is the right way to cover up their crime. Sydney retrieves a trowel from Brett’s car and they dig a mediocre grave. Neither of the two notice that Nick is moving on his own, and that he is unconscious rather than dead. They throw him in the grave and start to run away. Nick wakes up and scares Brett and Sydney, who attack him in their panic. When they realize that he is still alive, they tell Nick to forget about what they did and to go home. Two Can Keep a Secret has comedic value and dysfunctional relationships between characters that create an amusing film. The mishaps of the cast are engaging and contain surprise twists to keep viewers entertained.

The Unknown
This is a picture of my gecko Kevin. I was taking his picture for the shadow prompt in my photography class. I used my sisters' flashlight and a blank wall to get risp shadows of him.
Morning for Elephant Mountain
I took this photo on my daily hike up the mountains and hills of Point Reyes. It embodies what I enjoy about this area; fog, hills, forests, and beautiful skies.
Footprints in the Sand 2
Footprints in the Sand is a small group of photographs that talk about our imprint on the ocean and the beaches. The beach is a safe haven for me and I want to protect the beaches so other people later on can have the same experiences as me. I hope that these photographs help people see how easily the land is influenced by our imprint on the environment.
Magnificent Moth
This is a moth on a flower that I saw while on a hike. It was taken using a macro reverse ring.
The Transformation of Jesus
Contrary to what you might see in a Western church or an art gallery, Jesus was not white. He was a brown-skinned, Middle Eastern Jew. In our society, its clear representation and diversity matter very much and can be very powerful tools to help others. This applies for media, much more a prophet. Portraying Jesus as he truly looked, might help subside the anti-Semitic, and xenophobic views some alleged Christians have. Continuing to imagine Jesus as white, when he was undeniably not, is by definition, racist, as it promotes the notion that a particular race is superior to another.
Self Portrait
This is a self portrait from a selfie I took while on a walk with a friend before the pandemic. It represents a moment where I felt very happy, and brings back good memories.
Dragon Piece
I made a painting using acrylic paint to make a dragon and I also used silver leaf as the dragons scales.
