The Home Test High
The documentation of my mind before and during the Cooper Union Home Test. My mind is represented through the four phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. As I started my Home Test my mind became more active like particles in a pot of water over a stove-top burner.

What We Leave Behind
What do people leave behind? We leave behind hair, messes, tips, children, wallets, purses, phones, and socks. We leave behind germs and bacteria that spread the flu. In death we leave behind diseases in our genes like Alzheimer's and Cancer.

The Beautiful People
We edit ourselves on the internet. We airbrush, crop, and filter our way to beauty. So naturally I copied and pasted the profile and tagged pics from various Facebook profiles and made paintings to give viewers an idea of how we might look if we didn't edit ourselves. Or am I providing you with the images of over-edited souls?
