"Homework Overload" 

Recycled Materials      

54" x 27" x 12"

This sculpture was made during Junior year when the homework load never ended. So, I decided to sculpt my feelings of being a sort of homework robot. This is almost completely made from recycled materials: the canvas is an old light cover from my house, I used homework to paper mache the background and lots of the face, I used a bike gear for the iris, some smaller gears for the inside of the iris, and a piece of a hard drive  for the pupil, and Acrylic paint. With this piece I realized my love for using recycled materials in my pieces and I hope to make many more.

"Butterfly"
Ballpoint pen on paper
9" x 11"

This piece is created completely from ballpoint pen, just like all of my other ballpoint pen creations. I didn't use any pencil to sketch before I started with the pen, which cannot be erased. For this reason, the piece represents moving forward and not regretting past mistakes, simply making them add to the character of the piece as a hole.

"Inequality"
Cut Black and White Paper
9.5 feet X 6 feet

This large piece represents inequality. The person on the right is seemingly lesser than the man on the left. The man is looking down at the person in distress, yet doesn't seem to be ready to lend a helping hand. Still, he isn't completely unaffected by the same issue as the other person, which is apparent by looking at the top of the man's head.
