Pieces

It's often enough that the UCSD faculty and student body receives a web notification on the latest sexual assault, to be cautious and aware. During my freshman year I was raped on the campus of UCSD, and so this piece wholly represents my tumultuous emotions, the images are segments of memories I have with respect to that time. My mom would send me boxes of fruit, something that was signified time passing and the healing process continuing; the phrases from the master plan hint to a flaw in the infrastructure of our university's system.

A 7 piece work, attempting to visualize the fragmented mindset that epitomizes the aftermath of an impactful and emotional event. By taking de-contextualized phrases from UCSD's master plan and pairing them with surreal images, the words offer new meaning. In their new placement, they feel cold and confusing.
