Born sick, Sepi grew up in a hospital, missing out on a "normal" childhood. Her only friend was her stuffed doll, Ant. As she grew up drawing became her escape from reality. She filled the sketchbook her mother gave her with drawings of the world and life she longed to experience. Imaginary landscapes with flying fish, Mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, Mushrooms as tall as trees, and talking animals. One day, Sepi collapses and awakens inside the world of her sketchbook, where her drawings, and Ant have come to life. Window to Wonder is a 32-page illustrated children's book about the adventure that follows, as Ant, guides her through the world of her own imagination- a place filled with everything she ever dreamed of seeing.

I never knew how to doodle before, funny enough its something I struggled with because art always had structure to me. When I was told "just draw whatever comes to mind as soon as it comes to mind, even if it doesn't make sense together" it was as if unlocking a cheat code in my mind. my imagination went wild and I drew any little thought that came into my head, even the thought "ahh, I'm sitting here in class doodling" ended up blooming into the artwork as well. I really took the words "every thought" so literally.

This was made for an assignment for class for a illustration based on one of my favorite music artists UMI who is known for lo-fi and r&b music. I was inspired by one of her songs titled "Butterfly" and created this stylized portrait in her likeness.

Leigh Bowery was a performance artist who pushed the boundaries of art itself. His fashion and performance art give way to creatively explore within fetish culture and the absurd, going against social standards for the sake of art, identity, and life. This piece was made as a mock advertisement meant for an exhibition of Bowery's work. Using collage allowed me to showcase the spectrum of his work, for no one single piece could define the creativity he produced.
