Artwork
Speculative Design is the study of the unknown of the unknown. Using my focus in media, I create artworks that reflect upon our use of media in our every day lives. By the end of my senior year, I will have developed a installation piece for guests to enjoy.
​
This page contains work from my Speculative Design major as well as pieces from my previous major: Visual Arts (Media). Most of these are videos I created in the previous major along with electronic pieces, a miniature installation piece, and a few of my larger graphic design pieces.
Static Life is a piece I created that makes us reflect on our materialistic ways. It is made completely of up-cycled objects (even the glue!) and was eventually displayed in Calzona Desert. It was made using Arduino Uno and a previous project.
Eye See You is a miniature replica I made of a piece I pictured being displayed in New York City. It is a piece guests would walk through and reflect on how everyone has a different perspective on life.
Who are you? is a video piece meant to be projected onto a box. The material in the video and the medium of a box discusses the restraints faced when we are stripped of something we consider to be normal.
do you understand? reflects upon our daily use of social media and the way we consume it. Do we actually see and remember what we are consuming when we are scrolling down an endless path? What happens to that information?
Am I here considers the amount of time we spend on our phones and how that disconnects us through our daily lives. It is shown through my own life and disruptions I face when I finally give in and check my devices.
Quarantine Buddy is a piece reflecting on our use of material objects as comfort during the pandemic. The goal was to have participants reflect on their material reliance and reach out to people for help instead.

A Lesson is a self-reflection piece. Following an assignment where a professor determined a piece I spent weeks on to be "not art", I was devastated. I would not come out of my room for weeks. Eventually, I realized art is what you make of it and is different to everyone. I made this piece to reflect on what I learned and to continue to learn and improve as an artist.
Shattered Demons consists of two drawings I made of the same person. It tells the story of a boy who struggles with his inner demons. This piece represents what happens when the world finally collide and the pieces do no quite fit.
