Toy Story
___________________________________
This project shows Spider-Man in different moods and actions, highlighting his agility and sense of duty. I used black-and-white, red and sepia tones to create different emotions and atmospheres. The speech bubble adds a personal, heroic touch. My goal was to mix action and emotion to capture the spirit of Spider-Man.
Color Theory
___________________________________
This project shows the color wheel using an "under the sea"theme. I used different fish to represent each color, combining art and nature in a creative way. The goal was to make the color wheel fun, bright, and visually interesting.
Soft Focus
___________________________________
This project explores the theme of soft focus, using gentle light and blurred edges to create a dreamy, peaceful mood. I applied this effect to portraits, nature, and objects to highlighting beauty and detail in a subtle, artistic way.
Light Painting
___________________________________
This project explores the creative possibilities of light painting, blending technology with artistic expression to capture motion and form in a unique visual way. The concept centers on using long-exposure photography to record trails of light, transforming simple movements into intricate designs. Each image reflects a different vision: from organic shapes like the cactus and spiral forms to more abstract geometric patterns. The choice of vibrant neon colors against dark background enhances the contrast and drama of the compositions, emphasizing the flow and energy of light. The project highlights how digital tools can expand artistic boundaries and allow new interpretations of line, shape, and movement.
Shadows and silhouettes
___________________________________
This project explores identity, symbolism, and the power of light through a series of evocative photographic compositions. The concept centers on the use of dramatic low-key lighting to create silhouettes and highlight forms, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of individuality, nationhood, and love.
The vision is to use shadow and selective illumination as storytelling tools. Portraits in profile and frontal views, rendered as silhouettes, emphasize anonymity and universality, allowing viewers to project their own narratives onto the figures. The image of a figure before the American flag introduces themes of citizenship and belonging, while the photograph of a ring casting a heart-shaped shadow on an open book symbolizes love, commitment, and the written word.
Artistic choices include:
Strong backlighting to create striking outlines and a sense of mystery.
Minimalist compositions that focus attention on shape and contrast.
Symbolic props (flag, ring, book) to deepen the narrative layers.
Water colors
___________________________________
This project captures the vibrancy and subtle poetry of urban life through a series of candid, painterly photographs. The concept centers on observing the city as a living organism-where fleeting human interactions, the presence of animals, and the textures of the built environment all contribute to a shared narrative.
The vision is to highlight moments of connection and solitude within the city. The first image depicts a crosswalk encounter against a backdrop of towering buildings, evoking the rhythm and anonymity of city movement. The second image focuses on a gentle exchange involving a cat in a carrier, suggesting warmth and companionship amid the bustle. The third image shifts attention to a bird resting on industrial metal, symbolizing resilience and adaptation in an urban setting.
Artistic choices include the use of watercolor-like borders, which soften the edges and lend each photograph a dreamlike quality. This technique blurs the line between reality and memory, inviting viewers to reflect on the emotional resonance of everyday scenes. The color palette is both vibrant and muted, enhancing the sense of atmosphere and depth.
Overall, the project invites viewers to find beauty in ordinary moments and to appreciate the quiet stories unfolding all around us. If you’d like to discuss the symbolism or process behind these images, feel free to ask!
Mandala
___________________________________
Concept
This project is centered on the creation of a digital mandala, a symbol traditionally used to represent wholeness, unity, and the interconnectedness of all things. The intricate, symmetrical design invites viewers to contemplate balance and harmony, both within themselves and in the world around them. By integrating geometric shapes and vivid colors, the mandala becomes a visual meditation, encouraging mindfulness and introspection.
Vision
The vision for this piece is to merge traditional mandala art with contemporary digital techniques, resulting in a work that resonates across cultures and time periods. The mandala serves as a universal language, transcending barriers and inviting viewers into a shared space of reflection and calm. The choice of a green background symbolizes growth, renewal, and a connection to nature, reinforcing the idea of continual transformation and inner peace.
Artistic Choices
Color Palette: The use of green, red, yellow, and blue creates a vibrant yet harmonious composition. Green, as the dominant color, grounds the piece in nature, while the warm reds and yellows evoke energy and vitality. Blue introduces tranquility and balance.
Geometric Symmetry: The radial symmetry and repeating triangular motifs are deliberate, reflecting the natural order and mathematical precision found in both art and nature.
Texture and Detail: Fine linework and stippling add depth and complexity, encouraging viewers to explore the mandala’s layers and discover new details with each viewing.
Digital Medium: Creating the mandala digitally allows for precise symmetry and bold color choices, while also making the artwork accessible and reproducible in various formats.
Conclusion
This project seeks to offer a moment of stillness and contemplation in a fast-paced world. Through careful composition and thoughtful use of color and form, the mandala becomes not just an artwork, but a meditative experience-inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and the larger universe.

Theme Project
___________________________________
Concept
This project investigates the interplay between darkness and illumination within urban and natural environments. By capturing scenes at night, the series explores themes of isolation, introspection, and the subtle narratives that emerge in the absence of daylight. The use of sparse lighting draws attention to overlooked details and invites viewers to contemplate the emotional resonance of shadowed spaces.
Vision
The vision behind this work is to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and mystery. Each image is carefully composed to guide the viewer’s gaze toward pockets of light-whether it’s a lone figure under a streetlamp, the silhouette of hands emerging from darkness, or the texture of a desert plant illuminated by artificial glow. The project aims to transform ordinary nighttime scenes into poetic moments, encouraging viewers to find beauty and meaning in the unseen and the unspoken.
Artistic Choices
Low-Key Lighting: The deliberate use of minimal, directional light creates dramatic contrasts and emphasizes the boundaries between light and shadow.
Composition: Subjects are often positioned off-center or partially obscured, enhancing the sense of ambiguity and inviting viewers to imagine the unseen.
Color Palette: Warm, amber tones from streetlights and car interiors contrast with the deep blacks of the night, adding emotional warmth to the otherwise stark scenes.
Texture and Detail: Close attention is given to surfaces-such as the spiky desert plant and the hands-highlighting tactile qualities that might otherwise go unnoticed in daylight.
This project ultimately seeks to capture the quiet drama of nighttime, transforming darkness from a void into a canvas for subtle storytelling and emotional depth.
Teenage experience
___________________________________
Concept
This project explores the complexities of human connection, vulnerability, and support through a series of staged and candid photographs set in everyday environments. The narrative unfolds across scenes of isolation, crisis, and compassion, highlighting moments where individuals face challenges and reach out for help or offer comfort to others. By capturing both struggle and solidarity, the project aims to foster empathy and awareness around mental health and the importance of community.
Vision
The vision is to create a visual story that resonates with viewers on an emotional level, encouraging open conversations about personal struggles and the significance of reaching out. The series is designed to break the stigma surrounding vulnerability, showing that everyone experiences moments of hardship and that support is always within reach. Through relatable settings such as hallways, classrooms, and outdoor spaces, the project grounds its message in the reality of daily life.
Artistic Choices
Setting and Composition: The use of familiar, everyday locations makes the narrative accessible and relatable, reinforcing the idea that these experiences can happen to anyone, anywhere.
Body Language and Interaction: Careful attention is given to gestures-such as a hand on a shoulder, a comforting embrace, or a helping hand-to visually communicate empathy, support, and the act of reaching out.
Lighting and Perspective: Natural and ambient lighting is used to create an authentic atmosphere, while varied perspectives (overhead, close-up, and wide shots) immerse the viewer in both the emotional intensity and the broader context of each scene.
Color Palette: The use of neutral and cool tones subtly underscores the themes of introspection and seriousness, while moments of warmth in the interactions provide hope and reassurance.
This project ultimately seeks to inspire viewers to recognize the signs of struggle in themselves and others, and to encourage acts of kindness and support within their own communities.
