HOLLOW
HOLLOW: Senior Capstone 1
Internalized Racism - “the acceptance, by marginalized racial populations, of the negative societal beliefs and stereotypes about themselves”
Inspired by my own personal experiences with internalized racism, HOLLOW is meant to empower people of color to embrace their inner and outer beauty. Drawing upon the satirical artwork of Aubrey Beardsley, this collection aimed to use line, texture, and the absence of color on colored bodies to express what it is like to feel other in a Caucasian Eurocentric society.
SLOW IT DOWN
‘bro, what’s the rush?’
In a society always on the go, with ever changing trends and new social platforms to show off on – SLOW IT DOWN means to explore how our lives have become just a blur of moments and images. Using the fast paced sport of moto cross and luxury street style as points of inspiration, this collection is meant to target a young/ modern demographic.

Boys Don’t Cry
Based on Maud Fernhout’s photo series entitled “‘What ‘Real’ Men Cry Like”, this collection of gender bending pieces aims to stir conversation around the social construct that is gender and toxic masculinity.
