This piece was to express the same levels of stress that student faces are also what teachers themselves face due to school work.

Enveloped by fear, Reach for the light
2020
When you feel as if your back is pressed up against a wall, or your subconscious is drowned out by your insecurities to the point where you can't think straight, you have to find the strength within yourself to push through it. If you can't, and all hope is lost, don't be afraid to reach for the light. Besides, when surrounded by darkness, the light is all you can see.

Life.
2020
In this portrait, a student is portrayed looking outside her window during a stressful day of online school. The overwhelming emotions of being trapped during a pandemic both physically and metaphorically may make it seem as if the world is closing in on one’s self. Despite the plants and the student being the only two living organisms present in the image, they both live very contrasting lives from one another while still having in common the idea of feeling and being trapped.

Sanguine Apparition

Self portrait that conveys the incomplete self. The figure is clear yet unidentifiable. She embodies the version of oneself that’s been forced into the shadows, but despite being the one behind the veil, she is not the one trapped.

Intimidation
2020
Personally i wanted to find a way to convey a sense of emotion in this photograph and show a feeling that you should be cautious around this person and how unpredictable people can be. Whether this person is feeling angry, bitter, depressed, alone, sad, it can be all those things but none of those things too.
