So Far

So far this semester has been a challenge for me. Nothing is comfortable. I am in a different place doing very different things speaking a different language. Being completely out of my comfort zone, while exciting, triggers my anxiety into over drive. While I have been struggling about what to explore in my work, I decided to explore my anxiety through my pocket and my drawing midterm. Both projects are about my struggles with anxiety, how it used to be, and where I am now. My theme sequence project more deals with anxiety in my actions. It explores my relations with men and how I feel both empowered and violated by them. My idea was that the objectified objectifies the object. I want to look at my traditions, but invert them and place myself in not my usual role.

This whole semester's work has brought me to my patterns of duality, text and image, anxiety, and my interactions. I have used all this work and these exercises to discover what I want to translate into the visual world and how.

I am including some images of some of these works, my studio space, and my experimentations and work for my midterm.
