My sustained investigation pertained to love in various stages as well as the darker side of love itself. I found it interesting that in the media, love is usually portrayed in a lighter context and that they only show the beautiful parts of love but not the ugly parts. For my portfolio, I only used black, white, and shades of pink and red. By using this color pallet on all my works, it makes the portfolio look cohesive. My artwork is more modern than traditional or classical artwork; in my art style, I exaggerate the proportions and the features of the characters I draw, and that makes them look more cartoonish than realistic. I offset paler or darker colors with much brighter shades of that color.

I wasn’t afraid to push the boundary with my subjects, while I sometimes drew broken-heartedness or love at first sight I also drew toxic relationships, narcissism, and obsession. I just drew what I wanted to. I was also inspired by things around me, relationships in books and in media as well as other topics that I found interesting.
