Godzilla Stop Motion

Created in collaboration with Kyle Teran for an animation course, this stop motion short brings Godzilla’s destruction to life using practical models and raw creativity. From city-wide chaos to aerial attacks and a final nuclear strike, this project captures the scale of destruction and survival frame by frame.

Oxymoron Series

This project explores the visual expression of oxymorons—concepts that seem contradictory but reveal deeper meaning when paired together. I set out to illustrate these tensions through simple, thought-provoking compositions. In the first piece, two figures are shown engaged in hand-to-hand combat while smiling, capturing the duality of a “friendly fight,” where aggression and camaraderie intersect. The second illustration features a person sitting still on a treadmill, suggesting the idea of “going nowhere fast”—a commentary on the feeling of expending energy without making progress. Lastly, the third composition portrays a figure simultaneously crying and smiling, embodying the emotional complexity of “happy tears,” where joy and sadness coexist in a single moment.

“Ice Bears”

This composition features three polar bears huddled together in the middle of a blizzard, symbolizing me and my younger twin sisters. Being over a decade older than them, I’ve always seen myself as a protective figure—and bears, often associated with both strength and guardianship, felt like the perfect metaphor.

The large bear represents me, wearing a red shirt to give it human qualities and emphasize that this piece is about more than just animals—it’s a personal expression. The two smaller bears, representing my sisters, are cuddled up against the larger one, seeking warmth, comfort, and protection.

Beyond their fierceness, bears can also be soft and nurturing—like teddy bears—and I wanted this piece to capture both sides: protective and tender. The title “Ice Bears” is a nod to We Bare Bears, a cartoon my sisters and I watched growing up. Our favorite character, “Ice Bear,” was a quiet and strong figure, much like how I see myself with them.
