As part of my AHS (Art, Humanities, and Social Sciences) Capstone, I wrote a creative writing booklet centered around the theme of breaking through the shields we put up and the bubbles enclosing us. The stories range from creative nonfiction to magical realism. Each piece is matched with a writing prompt and some related recipes.
“All You Can Eat” is a storytelling project that I worked on in my Connecting with Stories course. The piece describes my relationship with hiking and how it developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. I performed my story during one of Olin’s community writing workshops.
In my Short Narrative class, I wrote several creative writing pieces. My portfolio consists of four flash fiction pieces (three of which form a triptych), one short-short story, and one short story.
I wrote a homage to my favorite photographer Vivian Maier. Vivian Maier was an American street photographer, active from 1950 to the mid-1970s, who received posthumous fame for her thoughtful photographs. The image above is a self-portrait I took in honor of Vivian Maier’s enigmatic self-portraits.
