Submerged Strokes

This photograph captures the quiet moment of a brush immersed in water, its bristles fanning out in a soft, painterly blur. The surrounding liquid creates a dreamlike distortion, with bubbles and ripples adding texture and movement to the stillness. The interplay of light and color transforms the simple act of cleaning a brush into an abstract scene that blurs the line between painting and photography, turning an everyday gesture into a piece of art.

A Child’s Silence

The child in the foreground represents my younger self, carrying sadness and frustration, while the figure walking away symbolizes the emotional distance between me and my mom. By capturing this moment of silence, the work explores how children can be deeply affected when they are unheard, and how those memories linger into adulthood. It speaks to the weight of being silenced and the longing for understanding, love, and acknowledgment.

It’s both playful and personal—a statement about identity, representation, and embracing who I am.

Inside the Plastic Smile

Summary:

This project reimagines Barbie as a life-sized reflection of my own identity and the realities women often keep hidden behind a smile. I created two dolls—one plus-size and one with hearing aids—to challenge the narrow standards of beauty and perfection that Barbie has traditionally represented. By intentionally avoiding the polished, “classic” Barbie look, I wanted to show the struggles, insecurities, and resilience that live beneath the surface. Through sewing, painting, and upcycling clothing, I explored not only how to construct these figures, but also how to deconstruct unrealistic ideals. This work reveals the raw and personal truths of what it means to live inside a world that expects perfection while silencing what women carry within.

The image serves as both a family keepsake and a piece of sports history, linking personal heritage with the timeless passion of the game.
