PUBLIC SOCIAL ISOLATION IN TORONTO
Illustration Project
Summer - Fall 2021

Limitless Ceilings
Short Graphic Novel
Fall 2020
Limitless Ceilings is a short-graphic novel that dives into a boy's journey of dealing with the end of the world as he grows up in uncertainty. Focusing on themes of love and family, the story bases itself on how fear can change the way we communicate and how we call cope differently when facing our ends. Artistically, this graphic novel takes an unconventional multi-media approach to display the rawest emotions it can visually.

In the past 40 years, the standards of a postar have evolved drastically

Situational Friends
Mural and Photography Project
Spring 2018
When people are solo and stuck in an enclosed public space for a long period of time, they attempt to distance themselves from loneliness by trying to find someone to relate to and become distracted with. Awkwardness and formality are exchanged for two-dimensional conversations; no depth is present, but there is...
This mural explores connections one makes on public transportation and the lack of intimacy in a crowd.
