Art in Progress

          The first photo (top) features a package of Marlboro cigarettes and a Juul pod: the “smokers.” The second photo (bottom) shows a shot glass of tequila and a slice of lime: the “alcoholics.” The teams are competing against each other. These photos can be interpreted as the competition between tobacco and alcohol sales in today's society. The market specifically targets young adults either entering or graduating college. In an economy where there are no restrictions prohibiting the advertisement of either substance to the public, it is expected that sales will skyrocket. Both are notoriously addictive and cause problems later on in life, such as liver disease, cancer, and in some cases, even death.

Cigarette smoking has been prevalent for years, but doctors have only recently understood the effects of tobacco smo...

          I always try to avoid the stoned edges of the cement sidewalk on my way to and from school. It helps me to get to class as quickly as possible.

The paper circles are made of gesso, wood glue, and rolled paper.

As I laid on the trampoline with the love of my life and his little brother, I was in awe at just how vast the sky was; amazed by how far it stretched without any end in sight. We had been huddled together in the backyard for about an hour before we finally saw a bright streak of light dart from one side of the Kuiper Belt to the other: a shooting star. It was remarkable - and the first one that I had ever seen. From then on, they kept shooting across the sky, one after another.  The Concept           My physical representation of this memory is a set of "kissing pots." The first material (earthenware) serves two purposes: to communicate closeness and body heat. The second (Mayco "Mirror Blue") and third (Mayco ...
