COVENANT

In God we trust

The father the son and the holy spirit. The Oreo, the milk and the impulse purchase. A commentary on our new found product worship. We may not go to church anymore, but we still pray to something. That something, unfortunately, will not save us. In an era where religion is being scrutinized, is it only natural that we turn to some other golden idol?

GOOD YOUTH

The kids are next

We move from a mindset where we imagine everything. We spend our lives deciding how we see things. We imagine, we believe, we create. Then, we grow up and we are told how the world is. The thing is, its not the world, its just what we are being told. In Good Youth, we see a hero, and we only see a snapshot of his life. That's all we ever see, but we are also seeing another world created by him. We know that this isn't real. Why? Because we know that Calvin is using his imagination. Why can't we apply this thinking to our social lives?

BAE GOALS

Do you love me?

It's a strange time to date. Nobody knows the rules anymore. Bae Goals is a commentary on how even our greatest heroes can be altered by an image. The heroes in our life with the strongest hearts and greatest history can look like crooks.

BAE GOALS 2

She said she'll never go

Take one invincible man. Remove context. Even the toughest people can be seen as weak. Who would have thought that someone that can't keep a pair of pants in one piece would be so possessive. Heroes are only heroes because we only show them saving lives. Even superheroes have assholes.

BUOY

How to stay afloat

This work was in search of a perfect balance of color. In the end, the colors of buoy, represent something you would find floating in the ocean. An object that has its own sense of balance.

What else are you supposed to do when you see a giant red wall sitting empty?
