Width: 45 inches
Material(s): Chalk pastel, black paper, digital photography for composition
Process(es): Photo several angles, white chalk subject outline on black paper, finished work with colored chalk
This piece set out to investigate the isolation we have all faced due to the pandemic. It has felt like we have all been in our own little bubbles, and so I photoshopped people into bubbles that are actually a part of a larger coronavirus cell.

I edited my piece vulnerability by coloring in the jesus because I didn’t feel satisfied at all with the past version and am very content. The two different colors of the eyes represent the kind of transition that you go through when you’re transitioning from survival mode to a more stable, more at peace state of mind.

I title this piece Essence of Self. I had a lot of fun making this. It’s a combination of watercolor, hou he, watercolor pencil, and some salt. I meant to evoke transparency and layers by making the girl’s figure transparent. She’s in a state of vulnerability and I decided to use primary colors to experiment with again warm and cool mark making. I purposefully left a lot of white space to make it as though it’s just purely the girl’s essence of who she is as a person.

She is the Empress! :D
The Empress captures people's attention without trying and symbolizes a confident woman.
I wanted to make her stand out by experimenting with line width and keeping the other hands and objects flatter and more simple. I like the pink color scheme too.
I think the proportions might be a little wonky but I tried my best to fix it.
