Sponge
For this mixed media assignment, I wanted to capture the feeling I had during the primetime of Duluth weather last fall where I was in awe of everything around me on my walks to UMD. As I snapped pictures, I felt like my head was spinning; the next thing I knew, I'd be on campus.

Safety
When creating this work I was in the midst of being stalked by someone I spoke to once. That experience took away what safety meant to me. Turning my every day into a walking nightmare. This piece represents the sudden and violent ways safety can be lost.

This piece explores how we'e all subject to the ideologies that form the world, ideologies with steep demands. When we don't meet those demands we may "play the part," masking our true personalities which can lead to losing all sense of identity until we're nothing more than clowns on a stage.
