This uses the element of texture with the crackle and breaking of the ceramic, and emphasis because the use of polychromatic ceramics to recreate Los Angeles and the geological problems facing California. I chose this because it seemed like a really problem represented in an original way I had never seen before.

This uses the principle of shape, to recreate and accentuate the stars and seas as well as showing how much of an impact plastic makes on our world today, especially our oceans. I chose this one and I liked it a lot because it really emphasized the issue of plastic in our ocean.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

 

1. Akula. This alebrije sculpture was my favorite and proudest sculpture I designed, built, and completed in junior year of high school. It has also been the first step towards a new project I have been working on during the last two in a half years. 

2. Beaded Cross. It represents my faith, and reminds me that no matter what I face going forward, God will always guide me. 

3. Arrow. My favorite sport has always been archery. I grew a passion for it when I was young and I continued casually practicing as I got older. Archery has always held an important place in my heart. 

4. Stuffed Cat. This was one of my first stuffed animals and I took it everywhere, even to Italy. I have been able to keep it safe all this time in hopes of passing it on to my own children one day. 

5. Kitchen Aid Mixer. The kitchen aid mixer has helped me advance my baking/cooking career options so much. I am working towards becoming a cake/pastry artist.

6. My Best Friend's Pocket Knife. This pocket knife means a lot to me because my best friend lives 700 miles away and he used to travel with this knife before heading home. He gave it to me during his last visit and it feels like a token of our friendship we have developed over the past year.
