​

In this piece, 'Social Media's Relationship To Our Bodies,’ she explored the effects social media has on influencing our views of our bodies, for better or worse. The piece is entirely contradictory to itself in the context that the viewer can either vie for or against media's effects, with no viable answers produced by the illustration. The objective of this piece was founded on the grounds of self-exploration and the contentious basis of media's role.
