Upside Down (2022)
The collage was initially made as something the camera would travel through. The purpose was to give the viewer detailed looks at each of the defined sections. I ended up liking the collage itself more so I would say it is a work in progress. I have to go back to the drawing board for my after-effects camera location and movement.
Squirrel! Where? (2022)
This collage is made of found images from pixels and designed in photoshop. All animation of characters was done in Adobe After Effects. The final product is more or less a form of practice and self expression.
Collages: An Independent Study
Each collage represents a different emotion or state of being. Completed in first-year core studies for a multimedia assignment, each piece is based on a time of day, which is represented both through color and atmosphere. All concepts and arrangements have been crafted of my own fruition and imagination.

Midnight Rain: Based on my personal experience with depression and a sense of failure and overwhelming responsibility. similar to drowning. The work is a visual representation of my personal fears.
Morning Frolic: Based on both childhood whimsy and a feeling of self-acceptance, inner peace, and the calmer moments in life.
Afternoon Contemplation: A combination of fear and anxiety. The piece is based more on inner thoughts than emotions such as self-doubt or “imposter syndrome”. As well as a lack of self-understanding and fear of disappointing others. In short, it is a piece that represents my struggle with pessimism.
Harsh Reality (2022)
A quick little live collage. Adobe after effects and photoshop were used to create this piece. I think the sound design needs work, but it is semi-done. The theme is most definitely death and decay or the reality of aging and finite time.
