BarCoded is a mixed media double self-portrait that was experimentally created by using a combination of 7 different mediums–pencil, watercolor, oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylic paint, charcoal, and ink–on watercolor paper. This piece is inspired by the polarity of distaste and indifference, representing that the opposite of hatred is not love, but rather indifference for an outcome.

The Abandonment portrays a young woman fleeing an arranged marriage with the man she does not love, and ultimately jumps into the nearby ocean to avoid having to lead such a dull life with a man whom she does not feel truly passionate about. She is supposedly swimming towards a better life, which would be a life free from expectation and social restraint–namely an undesirable suitor.
