Drawing Series: Beauty and Destruction
Beauty like Time is finite and its quality subjective.
Like Time, Beauty can also be the catalyst for wonder and creation, and yet it can also be a destructive force. This series juxtaposes our ideals of beauty utilizing the human form with the carnage and awe of destruction illustrated through texture and details. Each piece uses a different classical pose with a different form of destruction, the audience is meant to find the beauty in both and to thus question their own ideals.
