TOGETHER

My intention here is to thank those who have greatly supported us in this pandemic. The main image is clips extracted from pandemic life coming together to form a strong hand that crushes the coronavirus, as I believe the virus will be defeated by our collective effort...

Comparative Study

The Comparative Study is a project from the IB (International Baccalaureate) Visual Arts curriculum in which I  was asked to do research and present a comparative analysis of three works by at least two artists from different cultural contexts...

I AM NOT A VIRUS

This piece is about the anti-Chinese hate triggered by COVID-19, inspired by the three artists I investigated in my Comparative Study. The Matryoshka doll symbolizes the “world family”, and the Chinese doll (represented by her Chinese clothing) being pulled away symbolizes alienation...

DREAMS AND SUBCONSCIOUS

The outline in all of the pieces is drawn out of a single line, to create a sense of continuity and depict the uncertain, plastic nature of dreams...

BEAUTY, WISDOM AND CREATIVITY SPIRAL THROUGHOUT MATHEMATICS

This piece is inspired by my fascination with the beauty of math. One concept I have included is tessellation, in which a page is completely covered by congruent shapes. The base units are portraits of mathematicians in a chronological order...

BEHIND THE STAGE

PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS

This photo series consists of three close-up photos of several percussion instruments: güiro, cymbal, and cabasa. These photos were taken and processed within a class period as a photo challenge. I have noticed that a lot of people tend to think percussion instruments look like toys, and mastering them does not require much effort.... 

Luka

I love watching soccer. After the Russia World Cup in 2018 I became a fan of the Croatia national team and especially its captain Luka Modric. His strong sense of responsibility as a team captain, hard work for his dream and love for his country have greatly inspired me, so I created a few fan art pieces to express my respect for him...
