These dolls each represent myself at different times in my life, from babyhood to who I am right now. Making them was my way to reflect on and show love for all the different people I have been, who I hold inside.

This piece is heavily inspired by my happy memories of playing with dollhouses, from my childhood up till today. I had an excellent time seeing how many details I could fit into each room.

This is the third version of a lithograph printed from a stone that I worked on over the course of a semester. Each time I drew back onto the stone, I added more objects surrounding the person’s head. My intention was to draw as many unrelated tiny objects as I could think of.

Me and My Companion
silkscreen ink on white paper

This is a self portrait in an unrealistic sense. I combined a drawing I did of my face with a fictional costume that I probably would wear in real life, with a creature from my imagination. I often come up with things that seem just a little too strange to be real, and this felt like a good way to include myself in this world that lives in my head and in my art.
