The Maze of Language
Medium: Ink and mixed media on printed paper
Size: 9" x 11"
This piece interrupts printed language with layered symbols and organic forms, turning text into noise.
It reflects a world saturated with information, where meaning is fragmented and unstable.
Rather than clarifying reality, language becomes a system that distorts, overwhelms, and obscures understanding.
Organic Pattern
Medium: Design (Mixed Media on Paper)
Size: 9" x 11"
This design uses repeating organic shapes to create a sense of rhythm and movement. The curved forms connect and flow across the page, making the pattern feel continuous and balanced.
I focused on spacing, line, and color to build a clear visual structure. The variations in green tones add depth while keeping the overall design unified.
Through this piece, I explore how repetition and variation can work together to create order and visual harmony.
Symmetrical Harmony
Medium: Design (Mixed Media on Paper)
Size: 9" x 11"
This design is built around symmetry, with shapes repeating and reflecting from the center. The mirrored forms create a sense of balance and structure across the composition.
I used bold colors and clean outlines to make each shape clear and connected. The repeating patterns help guide the viewer’s eye around the design while keeping everything visually organized.
Through this piece, I explore how symmetry and repetition can create harmony and a strong visual rhythm.
Layers of Emotion
Medium: Design (Mixed Media on Paper)
Size: 9" x 11"
Big Idea: Repetition and Emotion
This design uses repeated heart shapes to express layers of emotion. The overlapping lines create a sense of movement and energy, while also showing how feelings can build and repeat over time.
I used variation in line thickness and tone to add depth and contrast. Even with a limited color range, the pattern remains visually dynamic.
Through this piece, I explore how simple shapes can carry meaning and express emotion through repetition and variation.
