Give & Take

Illustration, Publication, Interactive Design

Inspiration: I have always been fascinate by how different species interact with one another. There are many different types of symbiotic relationships found in nature. However, not all partnerships benefit both organisms. I am fascinated by the ones which do.  Give & Take is a short and interactive zine that explores the symbiotic relationship between honey bees and flowers. I aim to utilize this observation as a way to reevaluate our relationship with our own environment. How do we look beyond something as seemly normal to us as a bee on a flower? My work always begin with questions. Why cant we be more like bees and flowers?  Why cant we give as much as we take?

Deliverables: Interactive zine describing the mutualistic relationship between bees and flowers. When unfolded the back of the zine acts as a poster.

Liminality: Passing Places

Publication Design, Multimedia

Inspiration: Pink is soft, tender, and warm. It is compassionate and nurturing. It is the color of my innocence and of my youth. As I look back at the places I have been, the people I have met, and the person I have become, pink is the shade that envelopes my memories. With age I have come to recognize the temporary nature of the present. 

Deliverables: Made to represent the shape of a vinyl record, Passing Places is a collection of original songs paired with images of places from my past. All images are converted to gray scale, and hand colored using a soft pink colored pencil. The process of hand coloring each image is a physical representation of my present self reflecting and appreciating each step of my journey, regardless of the obstacles I may have faced along the way.

Illustration, Multimedia

Inspiration: During the COVID-19 Pandemic I made several paintings surrounding themes of closeness, connection and vulnerability. I wanted to combine these themes with the physical nature of a postcard.
