Individual Studies - Collage
Individual Studies was a conceptual development project rooted in my evolving relationship with the city of Chattanooga. Initially seen as an underdog in terms of beauty, the project explored how a shift in perspective can uncover the unique charm and potential of the city. Through the creation of a close-knit community of like-minded individuals, I developed a deep connection with Chattanooga, and this bond profoundly influenced my artistic process. With consistent guidance and feedback from one of my mentors, I further refined my ideas and storytelling, forming the foundation of my personal art practice.
