Mixed media on paper, 10 x 10". This piece was created while our neighborhood was evacuated due to wild fires in Chino Hills, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles. It provided me great relief from the fear that the fires would spread.
Where Fires Burn
For my mood board, I decided to show my personality through four different frames. My religious beliefs, love for fashion, obsession with the beach, and my appreciation for nature are displayed in their own frames. This wall of images creates a home for my personality and life experiences.

In this piece, I've portrayed a woman lying on the floor, bearing the weight of life's challenges, while above her, two rabbits engage in a whimsical and mysterious gambling game. This tableau explores the theme of hidden burdens and the unseen struggles that many individuals face. It was originally conceived for a picture book I'm crafting for my sister, as a testament to the complex nature of our existence. In this artwork, by inviting viewers to ponder the mysterious layers of human experience, I aim to create a sense of wonder and contemplation.

This is a pencil drawing of myself. This drawing is about the things you keep hidden inside of you. The things that have molded you into the person you are today, even though you want to forget them. Both good and bad.
It's Inside of Me
This painting captures the vibrant layers of Halo-Halo, a beloved Filipino dessert. Using acrylic paint, I highlighted the mix of colors and textures—crushed ice, sweet beans, nata de coco, leche flan, and ube ice cream on top. The contrast between the dessert and the background makes it stand out, celebrating the richness of Filipino culture in a single glass.
