How I fulfill the roles of the artist

Giving form to immaterial ideas and feelings

Window of the Capitoline Museum in Rome, 2015

This image shows a warped window on a rainy day. The flags and trees on the other side are distorted, giving the image a feeling of uncertainty. The unclear image of what is on the other side of the window can represent an unclear future. The window is preventing us from seeing the beauty of the landscape outdoors as obstacles can prevent us from seeing our final goals that we are striving for.  


Seeing the world in new or innovative ways














Rome, Italy, 2015

This picture was taken through the window of a bus on a rainy day. The water creates a vision of seeing the world from under water. The car in the bottom left corner can just barely be recognized in the hazy image. It almost looks like you are looking through an aquarium window, but looking at an underwater world, but instead of seeing a marine environment, there are trees, cars and sidewalks.

  1. The first image works, but your second image would be most appropriate for that role as well. The role of showing us the world in new and innovative ways is fulfilled mostly with more abstract work. For example, anyone in the basilica at the time you were there would see what you saw but not feel the same about it.
