I was once broken and yet rebuilt. Hopelessness is a state of mind. I have transformed & enhance the best pieces of myself and made it Beautiful.
I struggled, I fought, I crawled until I could stand. When you view my work SEE ME
A Beautiful Disaster. Made with tears of freedom.
Invisible Crown
Lesson Prompt: Each of us has a lifetime of memories, sensory experiences, important people, places, and experiences – magnificent, traumatic, and everything in between, that add to who we are. It is impossible to see from the outside all that we carry, all that we are. Imagine if there was a crown around your head that held these moments, memories, people, and places. What is your invisible crown made of?

Architecture description:
Pieces of Beauty is an at-risk youth center. I’ve designed the building out of puzzle pieces to represent trauma we’ve buried from the past and joys we experience throughout life. As humans we look for acceptance, identity, purpose, love, and meaning from life, and during this process we endure life’s tragedies. We tumble throughout life searching for missing pieces of ourselves and learn how to arrange each piece to make the best version of you. I will only be showcasing one room, which I believe to be the most important. This room is called “Mirror Monday.” Most people are scared to truly look at their reflection often because they can’t deal with who they really are. It’s an exercise to move deep rooted issues and negative outlook of self.
