Exploration Question: How do we keep our memory connected to our soul if they erase when we pass?

Work Plan

Experiment One

Where soul meets soul (2026)

Does this piece match your intended aesthetics?

It doesn’t look the way i wanted to. I wanted it to be a light watercolor piece. The colors don’t blend into each other well at all to make a dreamy look. I made the souls too fat. they were supposed to be small and still with a shadow surrounding them to portray two souls meeting.

Experiment Two

Does this piece work the way you intended?

It doesn’t not. I feel like it wouldn’t make sense to anyone who looks at it. I wanted a person to be able to tell that this is a soul in an uncertain place crossing with other another soul.

A soul meeting (2026)

Does this piece match your intended aesthetics?

It absolutely looks WAY better than the first piece and I’m super happy that the little figures i drew came out as actual figures than just a blob of paint. It’s not perfect like the drawing I was using for inspiration but it’s something I am absolutely proud of how it came out.

Does this piece work the way you intended?

This piece works way better than I wanted it to!! I do wish I blended the colors a little more better though to give it that fresh “portal” look But I am so so proud of it
