Art + Design
A graphite study of a street corner I pass by often on my way to my favorite cafe. Empty window indents sparked my imagination of the possibilities of a secret passage into an unknown dimension. With this piece, I was conscious about the impact the diversity of tonal shades could bring when trying to depict my mystery passage. The secret passage is the darkest value in the entire work in hopes of attracting the viewer's attention to its mystery.
Mixed media self-portrait which illustrates the visuals I feel while daydreaming. Through pastel like colors and abstract shapes, I tried to convey a peaceful oasis space and thought.
A sculptural work that depicts how I feel when performing the Bach Sonata, Presto, a technically difficult and fast pace piece. Often when playing a piece like Presto, my hand cramps up because of its tempo and demanding composition of notes, yet when listening to it, the melody flows smoothly like a singular line. Through my piece, I hoped to replicate this feeling of tightness and fluidity. Starting off at a singular starting square, the energy takes off, bouncing across my hands until it reaches the triangular end point. I use visual “vibrations'' and fragmented perspectives to provide a sense of movement to my still hand. With wood rods, I abstractly cut up the view of the hand and painted various red streaks, replicating the flow of energy I feel in my hand.
