welcome

hello, friends!

welcome to my project and e-portfolio. this is where i will be showcasing + selling my arts. the concept behind my arts is the fusion of incongruent ideas and inspired by Salvador Dali.

i am a graduate student at vanderbilt univ. and also a member of the education & brain sciences lab, where i work under the mentorship of Laurie Cutting and with a lot of brilliant and wonderful scientists / engineers / people. my research focuses on 2 primary topics: (1) brain-cognition development and early environmental contexts and (2) executive functions and reading abilities.

however, this website primarily focuses on arts and any creative and imaginative endeavors. while some artworks are for sale (+ matted and framed), others have already found wonderful owners. i also do commission + design arts if you have something in mind!

this was my very first piece of artwork. the inspiration behind this piece was a coalition between "courage," highlighting the character Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, and "benevolence," illuminating one of the major symbols of the Native American Tribes.

i am obsessed with the properties behind Brownian motion/movement - or just any theories about our (meta?)-physical world in general. of course, i will find any opportunity to fuse ideas between physics/science and arts together.

anyway... random motion of moving fluid particles (liquid or gas) steaming from an ordinary cup of joe. these freely moving particles then relocate and settle into another domain: a jellyfish and its tentacles, which are involved in the locomotive mobility of any given jellyfish.

if you are interested in the intersection between arts and science, check out the classic work The Starry Night by Van Gogh - and this analysis on "The Fluid Dynamics of 'The Starry Night'".
