The exercise of this project was to develop an organizational system, refined through many iterations, ultimately producing a flexible framework capable of generating numerous variations quickly and consistently. Selecting a touring band was an optimal subject as there are multiple shows and locations, and plenty of opportunity for mockups and experimenting with variations in a cohesive system.
Making the Way Back

Making the way back is composed of two images layered over one another. One image captures the iconic ceiling of the D.C Metro (where I was born and raised), and the other is a snapshot of my Father’s hands painting in his studio. This piece reflects on my experiences of finding myself and my passion while away at College, and how, no matter how far I go, my upbringing will always be at my core, keeping me centered and directed.
Biology of the Projected Self

Where is the self in relation to the brain? It is one of the most fundamental questions we can ask — and one without a satisfying answer. We can map an action potential, trace a neural pathway, and agree on the mechanics of a cell. But the thoughts, experiences, and sense of self that emerge from these systems resist the same certainty.
This work sits at the intersection of that tension — between monism, which collapses mind and body into a single physical reality, and dualism, which holds the mind as something separate and spiritual, tethered to the body but not confined by it. This piece occupies a middle ground: the brain as generator of both body and mind, and the self as something that exists only as long as the brain that produces it. The mechanical brain projects personhood into reality.
A tapestry of the brain serves as the foundation. From within it, threads of color break free — escaping the anatomical boundary to fall downward, where they are cut into a circle: the soul, the aura, the projected self. The parallel is intentional. The fiber tracts that carry signals across the brain mirror the single continuous thread that builds a knitted textile — both systems generating something whole from something repeated.
