"Street Value" is the final installment in the zine series of the same name. This project aims to highlight the elements and moments I find valuable in New York City.

"Street Value" incorporates screenshots from Google Maps, offering a juxtaposition that explores the evolving cataloging and valuation of a street over time through use of technology.

Pixel Prison
09-26-23
"Pixel Prison" is a digital collage that explores the internet and its profound impact on my personal identity. This artwork, with the file dimensions of a desktop backround, delves into my experience growing up with limitless online access.
The piece navigates the 'post-Internet' aesthetic I often explore in my work, providing a composition that mirrors the chaotic and diverse landscape of modern online culture. Through integrating internet and movie refrences, and subtle nods to capitalism, the collage becomes a multifaceted exploration of my experiences and reflections on life when we are plugged in to our technology.

Value
09-26-23"Value" is a one-of-one zine that delves into my perceived attachment to material possessions. This exploration involved a meticulous cataloging of my clothing collection, one that is
embarrassingly
large, causing myself and the veiwer to reflect on the reasons behind assigning value to non-essential items.
"Value" serves a dual purpose, functioning as both a documentation of my possessions and a subtle self-portrait. Despite my absence from the zine's visual narrative, I paint a picture of myself, and my style, through the curated selection of personal belongings. The use of an X-acto Knife to remove my presence from the styled and modeled outfits provided me with a layer of self contemplation and adds another depth to the project.
Through photography and tactile graphic design, "Value" captures the essence of my identity by focusing on the carefully curated outfits, providing a glimpse into the significance of each item. This zine prombts viewers to question the nature of value, materialism, and the relationship between personal identity and possessions.
“Value” is the first zine in the “Street Value” zine series

"CONNECTION PT.2" is an edited video designed to accentuate the pivotal role of parks in a bustling urban environment and the anxiety surrounding the cityscape. Set in and around Central Park, where continuous movement and stimulation occur, the video highlights the significance of parks as sanctuaries in the urban environment. This video invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between the urban landscape and nature.
This video is a continuation of the same thematic thread as its predecessor, this film distinguishes itself through the incorporation of multiple shots and a distinctive editing style opposed to the previous video, a single shot film.
