In May 2018 I graduated from the University of Connecticut's Studio Art program with a bachelors degree in photography and a concentration in digital art. I learned a lot about the contemporary and alternative processes to create photo and digital art but graduation also gave me a leap towards independence to approach more vivid dreams that instructors couldn't necessarily help with. This specific set is inspired by Takashi Murakami, contemporary painter, sculptor and pop culture-icon. I used samples from some of his popular work in collaboration with Kanye West . Also new to this set is the re-invented rainbow circularity inspired by the Murakami flowers. It was a fun quick experiment/series and made in collaboration with model, Kelli Banks from Dallas, Texas.
