SPRING 2012

I will officially be studying Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in the fall of 2011!

2010-11 Paintings

I titled this piece Haunting Reflections, as it demonstrates the emotions one feels when staring upon the mirror: vanity, insecurity, and sadness. These emotions are protruding from the mirror, depicting how people can be consumed with what they see of themselves. I collaged a Black Swan ticket at the top left which alludes to the main character as she becomes so consumed with her imperfections it destroys her.

Part of a series I made on toilets...acrylic
