Drawing from the cultural question of choosing the bear over the man in the woods, this collage examines how women assess risk in a world where harm often wears a familiar face. Elegance and wilderness collide, suggesting that survival is not about fear of the unknown, but about experience, pattern recognition, and choosing what is statistically—and instinctively—safer.

Two people dance enthusiastically on a stack of chips, apparently confident that chips are a legitimate architectural choice. Blue scribbles vibrate like off-key music or questionable tequila decisions. Chips and Salsa exists in that magical moment when gravity is optional, snacks are furniture, and joy requires absolutely no explanation. This collage is crunchy chaos.

This collage uses humor and exaggerated scale to explore distraction, desire, and misplaced focus with one figure faceplanting into a frosted cupcake—undone by his own wandering eyes. Sweet, surreal, and slyly feminist, the piece borrows vintage imagery to poke fun at ambition, indulgence, and the hazards of looking the wrong way at the wrong time.

A daring expedition into sugar-coated ambition. Tiny climbers scale a towering slice of cake beneath a blazing sun, chasing glory one buttercream ridge at a time. It’s about the thrill of the climb, the sweetness of success… and realizing the peak is mostly frosting.

Van Life is my slightly irreverent love letter to wanderlust—the fantasy of hitting the open road in a perfectly orange vintage camper with nothing but good light and questionable plans. Set against a chaotic web of bold orange lines (because let’s be honest, life is never that simple), the iconic van sits grounded and ready, while our sun-kissed heroine embodies the raw, untamed spirit of escape.

This collage reimagines the female body as a stand-in for sand dunes—rounded, monumental, and historically observed rather than owned. Figures traverse, recline, and look across the landscape, echoing how women are taught to move within spaces shaped by both desire and scrutiny. By transforming anatomy into geography, the work challenges the traditional gaze, reframing softness as strength and the natural curve as something neither hidden nor consumed.
