My Story
ink on printer paper, charcoal and ink on Swarthmore | Adobe Photoshop
This story project idea has spanned from middle school to high school and now, college. There are three parts: the first is about my adoption; the second is about reflecting on high school life, and the third reflects on my college experience. I am not one who typically talks a lot, so this project was one way in which the words come out and enable my self-expression.
The Next Chapter: Journey to the United States (2017)
My adoption story interview with my mom begins…
Chapter Three: Life as a Misfit (2017)
After completing The Next Chapter, an opportunity arose to create another comic during my high school class. Similar to The Next Chapter, I wanted to make my comic piece that connects to form a larger image. This story goes deeper into how I felt during my early education as a student, as well as, just being me.
Chapter Four: Just the Beginning (2022)
Stemming from my previous comic projects and my newfound interest in charcoal, I wanted to combine the two in a project that reflects on my college experience. In particular, reflecting on memories through depictions of the space. Rather than recalling all of those individual memories, I focus on the common factor: the location. Spaces can recall various of memories yet for each individual they differ.
