PARIS
This photographic collection, created during my study abroad experience in Paris, delves deeper into the city as my first time going abroad. Moving between grand architecture, historical monuments, quiet street scenes, and brief encounters with everyday life, this series showed me how Paris brings together spectacle and intimacy. Each image represents a paused look at the city's details, the people who live there, and the layers of history.

QUAESTIO DE VITA EST QUAESTIO MORTIS
"The Question of Life Is the Question of Death" is a 18 × 24-inch mixed-media drawing exploring mortality, memory, grief, and the symbols people have used across time to make sense of life’s impermanence. Through charcoal, graphite, and gold oil paint, the work builds a personal mythology from Renaissance, Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Indigenous, South American, medieval, and Biblical visual traditions.
