From Ephemeral to Eternal
Adobe Photoshop
Inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle's transformative work at the Tarot Garden, my poster titled "Ephemeral to Eternal" captures the magic of turning everyday objects into meaningful artifacts. It explores the story of Sophia, a character who, like a postman in Saint Phalle's garden, transforms mundane items from our trip—such as bus tickets, receipts, and pamphlets—into a beautiful mosaic. These objects, now framed in the poster, hold stories and memories that elevate them to the realm of art. By highlighting the artistic potential of ephemera, the piece challenges traditional notions of what constitutes professional art and who can be considered an artist. It invites viewers to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, celebrating the evolution of art and creativity through personal experiences.

Love for All:
Typegeist Poster
Adobe Photoshop and InDesign
My poster, titled "Love for All", is a collage that showcases the vibrant culture of North Davidson, Charlotte, through a collection of writings, stickers, posters, and signs found around the neighborhood. Designed as a double-sided fold-out poster, it serves as a mock advertisement for an exhibit called "Typegeist." The piece captures the ideologies and artistic expressions of a youthful community, highlighting its dynamic and inclusive spirit. Through this collage, I aim to convey the neighborhood's unique identity and the power of public art in shaping a collective narrative. The poster invites viewers to experience the culture and creativity of North Davidson from a fresh perspective.

Cosmic Trailblazer:
Mae Jemison Among the Stars
Adobe Photoshop
In my poster titled "Cosmic Trailblazer: Mae Jemison Among the Stars", I used Photoshop to transform Mae Jemison into a celestial goddess, celebrating her pioneering journey as the first African American woman to travel in space. The design merges her historical achievement with a mythical aesthetic, highlighting her as a figure of inspiration and empowerment. Through this visual narrative, I aim to honor Jemison's groundbreaking contributions to space exploration and her role as a trailblazer for future generations. The elements in the poster symbolize the opportunities she has opened for others. This artwork captures the intersection of science, history, and mythology, elevating Jemison's legacy to a cosmic scale.
