1 - Falling Animation - This was my first attempt at animation, and it was a study of movement and physics in animation, in an attempt to understand how to make objects move realistically through animation. This was drawn digitally, and animated in Procreate.
2(1) - Left Side -
Pacifism Pillars - This was a design I created during my internship at Pacifism, a small clothing brand. The collection was titled "Higher Power", and the creative director of the brand has a Muslim heritage, which is why this shirt depicts 5 pillars, referencing the 5 pillars of Islam. This graphic was then used as the main visual identity for the collection, being printed on all the fashion show invitation cards, and other branding.
2(2) - Right Side -
Pacifism Higher Power - This was another piece that was created for Pacifism, this directly referencing the collections name "Higher Power". The reaching hands symbolize how humans constantly yearn and reach for a higher power.
3 - Glass Window - This was a project I created for my IB art exhibition, it is spray paint on an old window pane that was going to be thrown out. At first I covered the whole window in masking tape, drew out the design, and then cut around the shapes, and peeled off the negative space. This piece is 93 cm x 91.5 cm.
4 - Cover Art - This is a collection of single track covers for a friend of mine. All were created using Photoshop. The goal was to have each cover unique to the specific song, while maintaining a loose thread of familiarity amongst them, in order to build a visual brand and look. 
5 - Colorful Skull - This was also a piece included in my IB exhibition. This was an exploration of how the mind perceives visuals and attempting to portray that through anatomy. Acrylic paint on canvas. 60 cm x 80 cm.
6 - Various Sketches - These are some sketches I've done. The most left one was digitally drawn while the ones on the right are pencil sketches. 
7(1) - Left Side - 
Purple Clouds - This piece is only spray paint, and was also part of my IB art exhibition. It is 107 cm x 136 cm. 
7(2) - Right Side - 
Pink Rectangles - Spray Paint and Acrylic Paint. 133cm x 117 cm. This piece was focused on portraying the contrast between minimalism and the extreme "noisy" nature of street art, especially vandalism. The vandalism includes significant symbolism and imagery.
8 - Merchandise Design - I was approached by a music producer to create merchandise for him and his music label "D.O.T.S". The left part of the design includes the labels name and many repeating lines, which is actually part of a record disc. 
9 - Graffiti Rectangles - This piece is a fragmented graffiti design. It employs contrast in the abstract nature of the shapes between the firm structure of the 7 rectangles. It is 135 cm x 60 cm. 
10 - Forms Poster - This piece was also created for my IB art exhibition. It is focused on the contrast between the abstract and distorted shapes and colors, and how they affect the structure and composition of the structural background. This was digitally created in Photoshop.

11 - Circle - Acrylic Paint and Oil Pastels on Wood. 120 cm in diameter. The focus of this artwork is meant to depict a visual experience of different senses. The abstract shapes with the negative space allow the viewer to perceive their own image within the composition.
12 - Pill Poster - Mixed media piece, that includes digital and spray paint. This was in my IB art exhibition and portrayed a melding of all the spray paint work and digital work that was included in it. 
13 - Pop Up Poster - This was a poster designed with a focus on capturing digital navigation. It was made in Photoshop. The textural elements were added later for extra visual depth.
14(1) - Left Side -
Cube Poster - This was a poster designed to study isometric perspective. It was made in Photoshop. The textural elements were added later for extra visual depth.
14(2) - Right Side - 
Black and White Poster - This was a poster designed to study contrast in forms and contrast in colors, and how to use it in a visually appealing manner. It was made in Photoshop. The textural elements were added later for extra visual depth.
15 - Portfolio Work with Skulls - This is a collection of skull related artworks and sketches I've created. I wrote a comparative study on significant skulls in art during my IB program, which developed a keen interest in the visual aesthetics of skulls.
