Captivating yet Vulnerable, 2012-2013
"Captivating yet Vulnerable” speaks to the theme of freedom and vulnerability. They encompass many forms of communication and artistic expression through the bright colours and shapes. I use the natural water world to depict how we all play an important role in the world as a diverse community. In this sense, Freedom is the intrinsic importance of the natural world.

Silly Creative Industries
The work below builds on the current trend of ‘silly bandz’ and makes reference to the research on Creative Industries. As per Adorno’s use of the term of “the cultural industry” to refer to an industry of mass deception. Under capitalism, humans become extensions of the commodities that they create, thus making commodities extensions of people's minds and bodies. Thus this work is a reflection on consumerism.
