Is it better up there?- This digital art piece reflects on the conflicting feelings that come with the sacrifices made for personal success, especially those of academic nature. As a high school student planning for the future Sada is constantly under pressure and through her artwork, she preserves the feeling of wondering if it will all pay off in the end.

Mother- A personal piece made digitally on how extensive generosity to others can lead to overlooking yourself. “I often find myself giving a lot of myself [to others],” Sada said.

Concept art- Each part of this digital piece pays homage to different influences and styles that Sada admires. As an aspiring horror themed video game creator, the monsters have macabre aspects.

GHOSTS- Captivated by the haunting thought of ghosts, Sada expresses the presence of wispy spirits through patterns and color scheme in this digital artwork. “Her back is always facing the spirit, further insinuating the existence of something felt yet never seen,” Sada said.

ANOREXIA- This piece is made on scratchboard and it symbolizes the loss of oneself when struggling with an eating disorder. “Each curve and fine mark is complemented by the wholeness of nothingness,” Sada said.

Gingerly Polluted- This piece made from gauche and recycled materials is commentary on the stereotypes a woman must subject herself to in order to be accepted in a male dominated society, even if that means belittling herself. The multiple aspects in place such as the lace, the woman in the center and the barking dogs add to its complex meaning. “Suffocated by femininity and taunted by masculinity,”Sada said.

Mouth Breather- A digital doodle that began with just some eyes turned into a full experimental pattern piece with organic lining. Sada’s main inspiration for this artwork was her horror influences.

Rose Colored Glasses- Rose Colored Glasses is a digital self portrait that has classical influence through its black sketching and red tints. “I loved the poised expression, it is very refined,” Sada said.
