This painting is of my dad in his childlike persona.

This piece meditates on the cognitive and biological capacity we have to connect others; our neurobiological wiring allows us to feel and understand what is happening in others’ bodies (e.g. our shared understanding of pain and emotions - Jamil Zaki).

While I made this piece of artwork, it was during a time when I had little motivation to create drawings. After reflecting on life with the new year approaching.

This painting is based on a picture of scenery I took while sketching with a group of students.

This piece took many tries and a long time to make as a donut form is very hard.

My art work is showing how I am a senior in high school and just a fun way to be a kid again.

This piece was very transformative for me because I realized the power of imperfection.

My art work is about my favorite rapper called playboicarti.

My artwork was created to symbolize the constant paranoia of being watched and judged from our parents, friends, family, peers, and society as a whole.

I created this piece with the app Procreate on my iPad.

I started by drawing my design on paper and tracing that onto the scratchboard.

I wanted to depict the stress behind life, especially as a high school student.

I made a painting of nature because it makes me feel happy.

It is abstract art but the message it conveyed to me was time was changing.
