Gender Roles to an Adolescent

This work is aims to challenge how society conditions us from a young age, to present ourselves a certain way, based on our assigned sex. It challenges the binary construct of gender, through the eyes of adolescence, as the subject matter performs as gender stereotypes of the opposite sex.

Evanescent

This work explores how as people, we draw an attachment to environments, and how a change in environment is a loss deeper than the physicality of a space. To be more specific, this idea derived from my own personal attachment to places. My rationality behind the safeness a space embodies for me, is from the fact that they are unable harm you, as they can’t leave you the way a person can. However, this summer, I came to the realization that this rational is absurd, as these places wouldn’t be so special to me if it wasn’t for the relationships and memories attached to these places. 

“My mind keeps coming back to the word love”

“My mind keeps coming back to the word love” is a visual representation of a former self which I am able to see in my younger brother, Alec. The body of work explores the undeniable bond between us two, with themes such as, longing for the innocent and carefree nature of childhood, which as an adult, is no longer obtainable. Sharing this closeness with the subject, I feel it enables my carefree personality, and allows myself to escape the social norms of adulthood. Where I am able to reach for elements from my past, through our relationship.
