In 12th grade, I focused on the idea of the workers behind the counter. Often times they are misunderstood, and I hope to show a sliver of the struggles they experience.

In 11th grade, I dove into the relationship between humans and nature, specifically looking at the greenery of nature and the pollutants of humans. 

 In 10th grade, I studied and photographed the idea of Stoicism. Stoicism has four pillars: wisdom, temperance, justice, and courage. I tried to follow some of the practices of a stoic and show them through images.
