Thank you to my best model and niece, Ariela, she completed this interactive installation.


This piece is "Untitled"
The reason some of my art is Untitled is because I like to have people attach their own meanings. Something like this is simple and when everyones ideas come out, they all lead to the same ultimate idea. I think that's beautiful AND therefore, we are all connected. 
Humanity: Everyone is unique and beautiful, but ultimately, connected as ONE.

Wall of Wishes

An interactive installation, inspired by the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Gallery visitors write down their wishes on a piece of paper and put them inside the boxes. Each box is individually hand sewn and some boxes are filled with little trinkets.

Stephanie Sinclair’s photos are frighteningly, beautiful and eye-opening. This photo is from the Self-Immolation: A Cry For Help series and is showing at the Whitney Biennial right now.

On the brighter note, I added more artwork to this site and my flickr & I've been working my butt off for an art show that will take place in April at my school & I will update soon about that!

Miscegenated Family Album by Lorraine O’Grady.

O’Grady’s sister past away at 37 years old. Afterwards, on a trip to Egypt, O’Grady noticed a similarity between Egyptian faces and her sister’s. Particularly when she visited art museums, Nefertiti’s face resembled her sisters very much. O’Grady puts together images of Nefertiti with her sisters and creates a personal and historical piece of work, which touches on racism and imperfection in families, which was just as true hundreds and thousands of years ago, as it is today.

(looking over some artwork to give a tour on at tomorrow's teen night event at the brooklyn museum! & I love this piece)
