2025 Submissions
Brace Yourself
It was the year I got my braces off, after almost 5 years of tacky metal in my mouth. In a way, the braces grew up with me, I was 11 when I got them, and now I’m 16.
Hostile Architecture
Hostile architecture uses design to limit the physical activities of people who use public spaces most - youth, low-income, or unhoused people. It may look innocent at first glance -- perhaps metal studs on concrete or bars in the middle of park benches -- but ultimately they serve to keep out the public, making so much public infrastructure uncomfortable or unusable.
Nature in the eyes of a phone
In love with nature, I wish to bring the memory of the landscape I see before me.
El Palo Alto
My art teacher inspired me to paint a tree, because I saw a beautiful one he had painted. I picked this tree because it is the tree that gave Palo Alto its name, and every year me and my family and friends do a special Christmas running race in Palo Alto.
Alone Together
In my piece ”Alone Together,” I combined watercolor and colored pencil to depict individuals isolated in bubbles, separated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Slumber Party
Slumber Party is an acrylic self portrait representing my attempts to connect with my inner child after a traumatic upbringing.
Sunday Morning
My artwork was a drawing from an art assignement which required a reference photo that included complexity and a twist in the requirements of using only the primary colors (including black and white) color pencils.
The Secret Garden
This is a book cover I designed for the book ”The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is one of my favorite books, and has been since childhood. This peice is my first completed digital project, and my first time drawing digitally since early 8th grade. The front cover depicts the garden mentioned in the title how it is at the beginning of the book, and from an outside perspective. The back cover shows said garden at the end of the book, and from an inside perspective.
Fake reality![Anime teaser image]
This art is supposed to be a teaser for my online community for a anime that I have been planning for 5 years. Sadly I’m still pinning final details for it!
One Last Breath
Earth is something in common that we all humans share and climate change is something that affects our everyday lives.
Cat Cottage
The Cat Cottage combines Art Nouveau and Biophilic architecture, embodying the mystery of your cat’s daily adventures, while incorporating succulents and greenery to bring the lush beauty of the outdoors into the intimate confines of your home.
Blended Faith
Blended Faith: As a daughter of a Hindu mother and Christian father, I have had the privilege to experience the blending of two cultures and religions.
Journalistic Integrity
I am very interested in the concept of turning small everyday objects into large comparative pieces.
Sonic the Hedgehog/Werehog, Sonic Unleashed
Started as an unfinished redraw scene from a couple of months ago, but remade it entirely.
