2026 Submissions
Yin and Yang and Hatred
Children have a simple mind. Good people do good things, and bad people do bad things.
Focal Point

Felix from Stray Kids
Balancing the chaos of senior year often made it difficult to find time to draw, yet drawing had been my refuge since I was three years old.

This is all just studies of stuff I've been enjoying recently--Patrick Stump, Britney Spears, and Saw 1.

Reflection
This piece captures the frightening realization that our identity is subject to drastic change as we grow, and the subsequent longing for the warmth and comfort of the past.
Mural Magic: Bringing Vibrance into the KLS Community
This 9ft by 12ft mural was born from a desire to transform a blank, overlooked wall into a vibrant reflection of our community’s diversity and aspirations.
Fitting the Pieces Together
I once had a dream about a museum that had the shape of a cube, where every room was an immersive experience about a portion of the exhibit.
DISILLUSIONED
Given the harsh, unforgiving, exploitative nature of the systems under which we live, one finds oneself having lost the wonder and colorfulness once known to them in youth.
Clipped Wings
This piece was inspired by a story I came up with, basically, a young king falls in love with a bird woman.
Beijing Opera
This piece is based off of a traditional Chinese opera performance, most commonly known as Beijing Opera.
