This mural documents my three-year journey through art school, translated into a continuous, hand-drawn stream of language. Split into three sections, each one reflects a year of development: exploration, refinement, and resolution—capturing how both my practice and sense of self evolved over time.

Year one is about exploration—a space of openness, curiosity, and experimentation. The words are scattered and impulsive, mirroring the chaotic energy of discovering process and possibility.

Year two focuses on refinement. The structure becomes more deliberate, the words more selective. Here, the voice tightens, ideas clarify, and intention starts to overtake instinct.

Year three is a coming together. It’s a place of synthesis, where style, purpose, and confidence finally align. The density of the text invites viewers to search, reflect, and decode, just as I have through making.

Throughout the mural, the black ‘X’ recurs as a visual anchor—a nod to Antoni Tàpies, whose use of the symbol questioned meaning, erasure, and mark-making itself. For me, the ‘X’ becomes a glyph of decision, intersection, and identity. It interrupts and punctuates the flow, reminding us that expression is just as much about what's concealed as what's revealed.

This is not just a wall of words—it’s a map of becoming, a textured record of a student growing into an artist.
