Ceramics ( 22 Pills, Each Pill: 19 cm Diameter, 5 cm Height)

The large-scale, pop-art-inspired ceramic pill installation, exemplifies my experiences with health and medication that have caused adverse effects on me. Some of the side effects of the medication include bruising, fatigue, hair loss, and nausea. Through the use of vivid colors and exaggerated scale, I hope to create an unnatural scene to reiterate the overwhelming burden of being under constant medication.

Nonno (Grandfather)
Mixed Media, Paper & Digital Collage (25.5 x 52.5 cm )

Nonno is a mixed media collage of my grandfather watering our family home in Cavaglia, Switzerland, the small town he was born in. Nonno has been losing his sight gradually over the last few years. Despite his visual impairment, his joyfulness has taught me to not let my own imparities keep me from enjoying special moments in life.
