My works, made by using the human body, cosmetic makeup,  plaster and photography,  create contemporary narratives through nontraditional usages of  painting and photography.
While experimenting with these materials, I have been exploring the unifying principles of my faith, oneness of mankind, oneness of religion and science, the equality of  men and women, utilizing the human canvas to illustrate these concepts.  As a teenager wanting to express myself any way possible, I began face painting as a hobby, and have grown this hobby into engaging and inspiring work. I intend on composing 20 new photographs, printed 16x20 that illustrate different aspects of the unifying principles, to be displayed together to tell the story of unity, with models, from every walk of life. I intend to create 8 plaster mold paintings of unity.  I want the viewer to interact with the work by the shear confusion of what bodyparts may camoflauged into the images.  Theses works emphasize the importance of creating unity and interdependence in our society, regardless of our differences.
