All That Glitters
When I was a child all I wanted to be was a super famous fashion designer. As the pieces of paper laid on top of the cardboard in this piece, every action I’ve taken has been towards this dream. However lately dealing with the responsibilities of adulthood, I’ve wanted to go back to the beginning of plating my nail bright pink and glitter and putting on my mother’s pearls.

Identity Pattern
This animation is a nonrepresentational depiction of my mind and how it operates. Through the change of hues following a tetrad color palette, I showed the organized chaos of my thinking. To add to the chaos, I animated the sinking "portals" in my pattern.

The Moose's Crown
This headdress is an exploration of objects, shapes, colors, and sounds I'm attracted to. I wanted to see how I could combine these elements into an aesthetically pleasing piece. Eventually, the headpiece became a body extension. The form and size alluded to a Moose's antlers; Creating a huge silhouette and presence to even the smallest model.

Gas Mask of Chicago Kardashian West 2052
Arms from the past are heavily ornamented and are meant to be seen as a beautiful object. The appearance of these objects counteracts their destructive and gruesome purpose. As a response to Jeweled Gun of Sultan Mahmud I, displayed at the Walters, I adorned and altered an object with a darker purpose, a respirator. This object is meant to protect the wearer from toxins in the air. Additionally, gas masks are beginning to be used in areas of harsh environmental conditions produced by humankind. It’s projected that by 2050 the earth’s temperature will rise more than the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit and the earth’s population will reach 9 billion. With these problems, the overall air quality will make gas masks more common. Just like the rich of yesteryears, the future wealthy will bling their gas masks to hide a darker purpose.
