We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

The Vent

‘The Vent’ is a visual diary comprised of drawings and a collection of quotes that directly speak to personal feelings of unresolved anger and resentment. A lot of those feelings stem from the underlying societal expectation that anger should be sublimated or otherwise ignored especially by women. The idea that anger breeds harm focuses on the outcomes of displaced anger, which by all means, is correct. However anger at injustice, oppression and unfair circumstances has to have the space to be expressed for the sake of personal freedom, societal change and improvement. This project is an exploration of difficult emotions and even though they can be visceral and ugly they can and should be given the space to exist and be expressed especially within and through the most underprivileged of women.

Please access it here: " In a visually-dominant world where photographs and film are widely used to document “authentic” reality, Memory Fair investigates a new way of re-envisioning past, nostalgic memories in a manner different from the current methods of recording used today. Memory Fair uses a combination of graphic design and augmented reality imagery to express the abstract underpinnings, sentience, and visceral emotions that encode memories for what they mean and feel.
