Project #1 - Culture Jam
-
My art piece challenges companies that cover up their corporate practices through consumer. Milky Way’s “sustainably sourced” palm oil contributes to widespread deforestation, a fact often overlooked by the promise of candy. In a world of consumerism, it is easy for us to get distracted.
Materials: Adobe Photoshop
Project #2 - Video Remix
-
This remix is based off the concept of a collage, combining premade pieces/clips into one project and creating something new. Rather than having a specific narrative in mind, I let whatever random discussions within the scenes decide which clip I would use next.

Project 3 - Zine
-
My zine highlights the fallacy of thinking that extreme suffering is the only way one can become a hero as this diminishes the significance of our own struggles. To evaluate who a person can and cannot be based solely on your own definition of suffering only shows a disregard for other’s feelings.
