Imagine an airy and spacious restaurant space on campus that combines horticulture design with a dining experience. I wanted to design the outside of a greenhouse restaurant that people can visit and have a tropical experience. The original image is of Winningham, and I used the greenhouse from Pike's Nursery. The banana plants are from my neighbor's backyard. I had glitches with photoshop, so the submission was delayed.

This image is a blend of gothic revival and Mughal architectural styles. Gothic revival began in the second half of the 18th century and into the 19th, while Mughal slowly died right before, starting in the early 16th until its foreign influence replacements in the mid 18th century. I used an image of a gothic revival church with pews and a large window shining light at the end of the room, with a image of two Indian men in an Akbar-style room. I found it interesting that both of these images had the same flooring, which made it perfect for combining the two seamlessly. On the left, I added a pillar that had traditional indian/mughalcarvings, which would portray religious representation. On the right, I have a arch that you would typically see in a gothic revival style building.  I chose to combine these styles of building together because despite being different in cultural context, both reflect aspiration and dedication

 For my project I wanted to capture the lack of work-life balance a lot of college students feeling during their time at school. For me, I find it hard to truly ever detatch from my artwork here at school.

Dining Pavilion

This piece is about modernization and industrialization, particularly the contrast between old and new architectural styles and their varying functions. I was inspired by the artist’s piece we saw in class about historic buildings getting renovated to fit a new style or serve a new purpose, so I chose to show this contrast in my piece by combining a grand decorative staircase and the mall food court from Concord Mills. The piece highlights how modern life often places convenience and consumer culture inside spaces that were once meant to feel timeless and important by putting the ordinary inside the extraordinary.

 So for this project i decided to blend two cities that really impacted me and how I interact with my art. Chicago and Staunton. One half was from Chicago. This mural was a couple of blocks away from the Chicago institute of art, which really revived my want to pursue art, this was a moment of high change in my life. Then with Staunton, it was the city near the art camp that I went to right after a hard break up. The camp not only surrounded me with artists who I could learn from but as well, giving a break from the world. Both areas were places of healing for me plus the idea of the country meeting the city has always been a subject I like to play with. What i was aiming for was to create a sort of melting together of good memories. A lot of my work is personal so this was really fun to try to make.

I chose to blend a game of billiards with a tennis stadium. I did this because tennis is considered a very refined, luxurious sport. Professional tennis is played in large stadiums where most attendees are dressed nicely and need to be very quiet while the game is played. This, compared to a game like billiards which is usually played in a bar or pool hall, somewhere that is not nearly as fancy as a tennis stadium. I wanted to have bar stools and empty beer bottles surrounding the players to play into the grungy aspect of pool, while being in such a contrasting setting of a tennis stadium.

The photo I took myselft to use was the hanging bar light.

 All the places you'll go

For my concept I wanted to base it off of the phrase "all the places you'll go" except it revolves around the places I have been that weren't "home". In this case I combined the walkway of my old residence hall on campus (Miltmore Hall) with a train station in Japan ( I lived there for about 3 years). While its focusing on two places I have been, I chose to recreate a train station setting because I don't plan to just stop there and theres many other places that I have been and will eventually go to.
