3D to 2D: "Dreams"

This image represents the importance of dreams. The background is filled with numerous chairs with the tag "Empty", and the chairs are covered in a light blue tone to evoke sadness and the constant struggles of life. Overlapping the chairs is a radial pattern of bright red bags with the tag "Dreams".

These flowers represent the rain and sadness that is inevitable, but the dreams are still brighter, bigger, and more powerful. In the very center of the image, a bright question mark evokes the audience to decide what they feel about the relationship between sadness at dreams.

As we live in the world and experience different forms of pain, the flower on each layer slowly begins to wither away and die. We try to heal ourselves from the physical pain by developing new layers, bu...

Fluxus Box

Fluxus Box based off of the movie "Les Miserables" (2012).

Artist Statement: The fluxus box attempts to provide a narrative based off of the movie "Les Miserables" (2012). The exterior of the box is made from plywood and a distress stain made from a mixture of ink and water. The box is not sanded, and it has exposed seams and nails, along with chunks of glue and imperfections. The box is meant to be rough due to the war that occurs, but it is also uniform and seems like an old, distressed box, similar to one from the French Revolution. When the box opens, the black underside of the lid reveals four triangular sections which intersect in the middle. The triangles represent the love triangle in the story along with the intersecting storylines and genera...
