This gallery exhibition featured my senior thesis work as a studio art major at my university. Throughout the year, I developed a body of work that expanded my junior seminar series. I then designed and constructed a gallergy exhibition alongside a student curator which was displayed in the arts center Staniar Gallery. Please refer to my artist statement below to learn more about my process and intention for the work.

SketchUp
Hotel Vitality​
This project was completed for an English class, "Hotel Orient," in Spring of 2014. The project consisted of the conceptual and digital design of a virtual hotel within the Orient inspired by literature describing orientation in time and space in both the hotel setting and the Oriental culture. Using Sketchup, this design focuses on the zen principle of "Mu" as described by Noland Barthes as the empty center and source for truth and serenity.
