Empathy

Empathy explores the idea that empathy isn’t a single feeling, but a collection of small, practiced qualities—attention, curiosity, care, patience. The hand acts as a kind of map, with each finger labeled to suggest empathy as something learned over time, not assumed. Created for the Discoastal Culture Collective, the piece draws from anatomical illustration and print-era line work, using a restrained black-and-white palette to keep the focus on meaning rather than spectacle. It’s meant to feel instructional, reflective, and human—more like a reminder than a statement.

Each finger is labeled with qualities associated with empathy, such as curiosity, care, sensitivity, and compassion. The word “Empathy” appears at the top, with Discoastal Culture Collective branding at the bottom. — Empathy — a reminder that empathy isn’t a single trait, but something built from attention, care, and practice.

Calibration

Calibration examines the relationship between the human body and the systems used to measure, optimize, and control it. The figure is rendered in motion, reaching upward while overlaid with geometric lines, nodes, and arcs—suggesting a body being tracked, aligned, and interpreted through abstract frameworks. Created for the Discoastal Culture Collective, the piece reflects an ongoing interest in where lived, physical experience collides with data, structure, and imposed order. Rather than presenting balance as a fixed state, the work treats calibration as continuous, imperfect, and deeply human.

Illustrated poster of a red, anatomical human figure reaching upward inside an abstract head-shaped form. White geometric lines, nodes, and arcs overlay the figure, suggesting measurement, alignment, and motion. The background features a repeating geometric pattern in muted tones. — Calibration — a study of the body in motion, caught between instinct and measurement. Created for the Discoastal Culture Collective.

Rooted Resistance

Rooted Resistance combines two opposing gestures into a single form: a raised fist and a lotus in bloom. The fist represents collective strength, refusal, and solidarity; the lotus grounds that resistance in patience, growth, and inner discipline. Rather than framing resistance as purely forceful, the piece treats it as something sustained—fed by reflection, care, and long-term commitment. Created for the Discoastal Culture Collective, the work reflects an interest in balancing defiance with grounding, and action with intention.
