For my final project I decided to combine my interest in photography and mixed media/collages. I made 5 different pieces that express the range of my emotions and feelings during this time. I think it is important to have something physical to represent this strange time and I am glad that I was able to attempt to communicate this period of COVID-19 through art. I used clippings from newspapers, magazines, and my own photographs to show a glimpse into my life at the moment. The pieces are meant to represent anger, confusion, and frustration yet also highlight the importance of hope and a positive mentality moving forward. I hope to continue to create works like this throughout the summer and experiment with more techniques to improve my pieces!

Thanks for a great semester & I hope everyone has a safe and happy summer.
