ART 120 | TIME AND STRUCTURE
This semester pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as an artist. I became more confident using new Adobe programs such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Audition, which expanded the way I think about motion, sound, and time-based media. My favorite experience was the immersive landscape project, where I created an installation using multiple forms of media for the first time. Combining audio and physical elements challenged me in new ways and ended up being one of the most rewarding projects I’ve done. Overall, this class strengthened my technical skills and broadened my creative perspective.

This audio story captures the rhythm of everyday subway and city life, using sound alone to guide the listener through a narrative without relying on visuals. By focusing on how audio shapes mood, space, and movement, I explored the possibilities of time-based art as an immersive experience. The piece emphasizes the fleeting nature of sound, each moment exists only as you hear it, then disappears. Through this project, I aimed to create a sensory journey that feels both familiar and temporary, highlighting how transient our everyday environments really are.

Time can always be a frightening concept. It can mean many things: change, evolution, decay, growth. People seem to try and run away from it, whether through trying to live in the moment, capturing moments in film and photos, or simply avoiding thinking about it. This exact moment, you’ll never get it back. Navigating time throughout life can be a tricky concept that few can truly understand. Once something ends, that's it. And that can be scary. Time can also heal, with change comes growth and with growth comes evolution. This stop-motion video is an exploration of that: a constant state of movement, an evolution, a period of growth. The audio includes snippets of my own life, whether its voicemails, laughter with friends, or just the birds chirping. All of these moments can be revisited to experience the time that is now lost. Time can be scary, but once it's accepted and you stop running from it, that's when I believe a person can truly start living.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The Last Orca Exhibit is an immersive commentary piece that speaks on ocean pollution, orca whale extinction, and sustainability. The whale was intentionally made half fully taped and painted, where the other half is just the cardboard skeleton. This contrast symbolizes the fragility of marine life and the disintegration of natural ecosystems under human impact. The completed side reflects the beauty and strength of orcas in their natural form, and the unfinished side shows the harsh reality of loss. The floor debris is placed to showcase ocean debris, alongside the “FOR SALE” and “0.99” signage, which highlights the consumeristic culture we live in and the amount of trash that ends up in the ocean. “The Last Orca Exhibit” signage is also meant to critique Sea World and similar animal showcases where the animals are taken out of their natural habitat and end up having detrimental effects on their mind and body just for human entertainment. A supporting element in this project is the audio, which starts off with serene ocean sounds and whale callings, which transitions underwater with faint machinery sounds and plastic crinkles. Finally, the audio ends in a melancholic instrument with faint whale callings. Overall, this installation is meant to evoke feelings of loss while raising awareness on ocean pollution and loss.
