A gigantic and monstrous earwig looms and dominates over the space of a small bedroom. In the fall of 2020, I was plagued by an infestation of the insects in my house for 3 months. I felt suffocated and unable to escape the bugs as they invaded every moment of my day. This digital painting offers the viewer a glimpse into my own harrowing experience.

A cast aluminum medallion displaying a radial patterning that is broken up by 2 California Poppy flowers sculpted in relief. This medallion contains symbols pertaining to my heritage as a first-generation American who was raised within the culture of my parents at home, but also as a Californian in my daily life at school. These identities harmonize together in an homage to all which came before me, what I have accomplished so far, and the decisions I will make in the future.
