Horror (An Original Silent Short)
This project was aired on YouTube in October 2020. It was my first personal project since I graduated from my university. I wasn't worried about dialogue I wanted to work on my visuals. I wanted to elicit confusion and disturbance with just images. I specifically used the soundtrack from Jordan Peele's mystery, thriller, "US" (2019) because the movie itself was so inspiring to me. I wanted to show a tethered version of myself that I was proud of. I used an RGB color pallet when creating these scenes to enhance mood. Using the Kensington gore I made for this project I wanted to show almost a sense of freedom in these pictures. Blood is globally understood as a symbol of life. There is a specific Arabic saying that drew my attention when researching the symbolism of blood and it was "Blood has flowed, the danger is past". The message behind using blood was originally correlated to a rebirth, a new life I made for myself that I was proud to show. Upon creating this project I knew it was going to be messy so I wore as few clothes as possible and used my body language as much as possible. If you see closely I am wearing white-out contacts because we are born blind. I wanted to visually represent "unseeing" everything.

Poison Ivy (Cosplay)
This project was fun for me because It's my first cosplay and it challenged me. Poison Ivy is already a character from the DC universe. I knew there were some key factors I needed to show for example it needed to be green ivy leaves specifically and red hair. So I am dedicated to making my natural hair as red as possible just for this concept. For make-up, I chose as much green as possible but keeping my face visible, I was able to add make-up to my chest to enhance. Placing the plastic Ivy leaves was difficult but I felt as though less was more. This is a concept I would do again with more attention to detail of the attire. The ivy leaves shown on this costume are hand-sewn myself. I did not know what shoes I would wear so I designed my own using an old pair of shoes a hot glue gun and faux ivy leaves. My favorite part of this project was the editing because it put everything together for me.

Harley Quinn With A Twist
(Cosplay)
The model selected for this project is a huge Harley Quinn fan. Although Harley identifies as female in the comics, I wanted to recreate almost an alternate universe version. The wardrobe was bought separately and put together as an homage to the black and red jester look she wears in the animated series. For make-Up, I recreated the new age Harley look using pink and blue as in the films. Finding a location that gave me colorful chaos was needed especially that city feel to it. I was lucky to know the perfect spot and it worked.

Grinch SFX Make-Up
For Christmas, I created a Grinch look using liquid latex and cotton swabs. This project helped me with character acting because It allowed me to completely cover my face so I didn't look like myself making it easier to get into character. My favorite part was trying to create a voice for this look.

This is 26 Visuals
Turning 26 was refreshing to me because I had more of an idea about who I was becoming and It felt liberating. For this project, I went searching for a formal gown that would either be pastel or neutral colors. I came across this dress at a thrift store and it was within my project budget so it came home with me. My favorite scent is lavender and the plant itself is so beneficial. As I was looking for faux lavender plants I ran across these at my local dollar tree. For Make-Up I created a bright purple look because purple is a color that only royalty was able to wear when the color was initially created due to it was so difficult to dye fabric that fluorescent. I added Purple specifically to my eyes because my creations are my visions my eyes are precious to me. The tears are in silver because silver is glam and as an emotional artist, every tear I shed helped mold the artist that I am today. The dress wasn't in pastel but I managed to create cotton candy scenery around myself to stay true to my light-hearted approach.

Galaxy Goddess Materity Shoot
Photoshop Manipulation is the art of taking multiple images and blending them to create art. For this Maternity Shoot I green screened my model to make it easier removing backgrounds. For wardrobe I wanted a futuristic look so I chose to wrap her in silver silk fabric. The blue voile fabric was added in reference of "it's a boy". The last slide was the edit for when the baby had turned 1 month old.
