I love intensity, inspiring questions, and connecting with people in a way that makes me remember what it feels like to be human, in the most enlivening sense of the word. I seek beauty in the strange and dark, and humor in the unexpected. I am captivated by raindrops on rooftops, art that provokes emotion, macabre elegance, and juxtapositions of joy and sorrow.

"And all the time your soul is craving and longing for something else. And in vain does the dreamer rummage about in his old dreams, raking them over as though they were a heap of cinders, looking in these cinders for some spark, however tiny, to fan it into a flame so as to warm his chilled blood by it and revive in it all that he held so dear before, all that touched his heart, that made his blood course through his veins, that drew tears from his eyes, and that so splendidly deceived him!" -excerpt from Dostoevsky's White Nights

I am planning to transfer to a four year college to study major in film. I want to create meaningful cinema that pushes boundaries of gender, reality, and time. I believe that art, especially cinema is one of the most powerful forms of activism. I experiment with creative writing, mixed media, and performance art. I dream endlessly.

Writing about emotions, making surreal short films, dancing excitedly and ridiculously to 80's music, apologizing when necessary, being strange, listening to others, speaking my mind, melancholia, being hopelessly romantic

My naturally red hair, green eyes that often reveal to much, or Victorian inspired sense of style

How to discover genuine human connections in our fast-paced technological based world, childhood memories that did or did not really occur, the rights of the under-valued and oppressed, the brainwashing affect of mass-media, ideas for art projects
