Surrealism as a Medium of Storytelling

The following pieces were produced as part of a fully-funded fellowship program in which I studied for six weeks at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

In addition to creating art, I conducted research and listened to lectures about movements in art history.

I explored the surrealist movement, which is characterized by art that unites the natural and dream world. Inspired by what I learned, I created my own eccentric but detailed narratives; I was able to convey my own emotions while pulling inspiration from historical work.

My own story became a continuation of the larger movement. I learned that art is a medium for continuing the human narrative. To be human is to bring my own artistic vision while building on the foundation of those before me.
