 I would like to study at MSA because of the innovative and rich architectural history of Manchester. The city tells its own story of transformation through its building’s layouts and spaces. This is an aspect  I am widely passionate about, architecture speaking for itself. I believe working in an environment that reflects this value will allow me to keep a passionate and authentic love for architecture as well as  inspiring my future designs.

Here I focused more simply on muscle movement and the various linear strokes formed when muscles are stretched.

This is a life-size sculpture I made for the theme of Beauty and femininity". The sculpture takes influences from Niki De Saint Phalle and Rodin. I created a female version of Rodin's bronze soldier with accenting breast designs most commonly found on De Saint Phalle's Nanas, as well as the decorative snake that appears in some of her work.
