Painting Sketches for Thesis

September 2024-December 2024, Watercolor on paper

These are several ideations for my Senior thesis. The overarching theme is to depict imagery of nature and humanity’s relationship that has laid dormant in my mind for years; of mythological creatures that reflect how humans try to control nature, of imagined natural reclamation scenes, and of wishes for a time when the paths of humanity and nature wind tightly together once more.
