These art pieces are from my Senior year of high school (2016-2017). I took the I.B. Art course, and this was my first extended experience with visual art. This was a very tumultuous period in my life, and creating this body of work solidified visual arts as a means to express my thoughts about liberation, beauty, spirituality, and relationships. I would neglect this work in some contexts, but it’s essential to my story/origins as an artist and I’m archiving it here.
