Self-Discovery by Self-Destruction

The following body of thesis is a collection of short stories, poems, and personal essays compiled with visuals of my personal artwork. The prevalent theme throughout the work is self-discovery by self-destruction. It is in itself an ongoing research of reality among college students and must be seen as an artistic exploration. The artwork is that of multimedia in that it consists widely of photography, printmaking, sculpture, charcoal drawing, and ceramics inspired mostly by real emotion and dreams. In piecing the entire thesis as a whole, the following programs were used: Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign
