Personal Emblem

2018

This symbol, which is a blend of indigenous Taino imagery from the Dominican Republic and Ancient Etruscan references from Rome, is a symbol I developed to represent my work and identity.

Based off of a sketchbook doodle and rendered digitally.

I couldn't decide what screen to look at and I felt the pressure that I only had three minutes before the moment

Mel Rosenthal: South Bronx Photography

For a photography project I began developing I planned to visit the Museum of the City of New York, but fell ill and was unable to go. I looked at the exhibition "South Bronx" by Mel Rosenthal and was inspired to research his work. Photographer Mel Rosenthal was born in the South Bronx and grew up in the 40's and 50's. He began documentary photographs while working in Brazil and developed a passion that led him to photographing his native home, the South Bronx. His work deals
