"Evacuate" symbolical drawing. The two hands have stretched the web and tangled it to the point where the spider can no longer live there which is parallel to being caught between two things, as the butterfly is. The spider has been driven out of his home.
This is probably the first piece of 3D art I've ever created. I made it in kindergarten by scrunched a chunk of class into a ball in my fists and then poking a marker cap into it for eyes and pinch with my fingers a crooked beak. This little owl is important to me because my dad and I like to look at it and laugh at my carelessness and the almost surprise outcome.

This piece, "Dolly" was created colored pencil and black watercolor. It was designed to illustrate the fear of dolls, called pediophobia which stems from the sentiment that an inatimate object that resembles humans could also posses human abilities. This project was fun to do because it was like a large scale and detailed doodle. It was fun to do the vibrant colors and exaggerated features signature to that of a doll.
"Eat You Alive" is a collage I contrived to depict the unattainable and unfair expectations society instills in us. It was an idea I had sketched up awhile ago but just never got around to making, so it was really fun to see it come to life. The concept is that we are being feasted on through social media, and society with it's beauty standards. Perfection is perfectly unattainable.

This was my first attempt at jewelry making. These earrings are inspired by the Ouija board. The two planchettes extending from the sun and moon coordinate with the "yes" and "no" corners of the board.I'm very pleased with the concept but the metal was very difficult to work with.
"la hija de Frida"
This was probably my favorite project of the year. I painted my portrait in the style of Frida Kahlo who happens to be my favorite artist. I find her very captivating and I think she is sort of an unintentional advocate for self acceptance. She taught me to disregard any notion of conforming to fit a beauty standard. In honor or what she stands for to me, I have emphasized my own flaws in this painting: my crooked eyebrows, wacky hairline, forever flushed cheeks, and over-sized chin.
This watercolor painting is meant to have a hopeless sentiment attached. The grays and blues were intentional to carry this broken feeling. The blue hair flowing away is included to give the piece movement.
