A mixture of old and new, UCLA campus is a place to walk and contemplate. An isometric project in all its details would be infinite; this is an impressionistic view of the campus in my heart and mind.

Poster inspired by Polish take on the movie Solaris (Russian: Солярис), a 1972 Soviet science fiction film by Andrei Tarkovsky that centers on a space station orbiting the fictional planet Solaris, where a scientific mission has stalled because the skeleton crew of three scientists has fallen into emotional crisis. A psychologist travels to the station in order to evaluate the situation, only to encounter the same mysterious phenomena as the others.

A Belgian movie about country bluegrass music, love, faith, and loss. Elise and Didier fall in love at first sight, in spite of their differences. He talks, she listens. He's a romantic atheist, she's a religious realist. Their love is put to trial when their daughter becomes seriously ill. 

In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes, known as "aigrettes", could be used to decorate hats. In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.

In 2020, the long-standing racial inequity and social injustice came to the fore in the throes of the pandemic as we helplessly watched George Floyd getting murdered on our screens. Racial brutality is still an appalling reality. It is my hope that we can bring our histories together and all genders and races can expect safety, advancement, prosperity, and justice as their birthright.
