Lo que he mirado en esta tierra 3 (trans. What I have seen on this Earth 3)

A digitally painted self-portrait portraying a pacific islander woman sitting criss-cross in front of 9 stacked tube televisions, looking down at her smartphone. She wears a blue sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, and white gym socks. Behind her the television screens display images that illustrate life during the pandemic, including a vaccine vial and syringe, people holding protest signs above their heads, and medical workers in hazmat suits wheeling a stretcher.

An abstract digital drawing on a white background. The drawing is composed of different sized geometric squares and rectangles. The squares and rectangles have a bright color palette, filled with various shades of blues, purples, browns, greens, yellows, oranges, and pinks.

A wide, panorama image of a tall, yellow, deteriorating wall. The concrete wall trails a thick sidewalk that bends with the panorama. There are two small rectangular windows in the wall, each enclosed by rusted, vertical bars. On the right side of the image, a brown-skinned woman with red hair, a yellow shirt, black flare leggings and black sandals walks on the sidewalk, toward the left. She is approaching another person who is barefoot and facing the road.

Two images kitty-corner to each other. They are the same image, except the one on the right is more like a painted depiction of the other. The images depict a road with an approaching large blue truck on the right. The perspective is from a diagonal angle of the road, so that only the opposite side of the street is in view. Clusters of people stand in front of the small colorful buildings lining that side of the road. In the right image only, a man stands at the forefront of the image looking directly at the viewer with his head turned slightly to the right.

Two images kitty-corner to each other. They are the same image, except the one on the left is in black and white, and resembles a pencil sketch. The right one is in color and seems to be in watercolor. They show a large blue truck on a yellow road, in front of a blue building with pink trim. Two tan-skinned women with short dark hair wearing white, short sleeve, knee length dresses are standing close to the building and another is standing in the road, approaching the viewer. A fourth person is very close to the viewer so that only their eyes and hair are visible.

Two circular images kitty-corner to each other. They are nearly the same image of an emotionless white woman looking out of an open window while resting her arm on the ledge. The difference is that on the left, she has bright red hair and a green top, but on the right she is wearing a 14th century gown and headdress, like that of historical European prestige. The window is a part of a squared concrete building that’s a reasonable distance away from the viewer so the flat roof is visible. On the right, another wall with an open window intersects this one.

A watercolor painting of an emotionless woman looking out of an open window. She is white with bright red hair, a green top, and she is resting her arm on the window ledge. The windows are a rectangular, horizontal sheet of glass lined with orange-colored wood. The window is a part of a squared concrete building that’s a reasonable distance away from the viewer so the flat roof is visible. On the right, another wall with an open window intersects this one. Behind this building, bits of other squared residential buildings peek out.

A digital drawing of a dark, messy room with a stool sitting in the middle of it. Behind the stool, and faintly illuminating the room is a tv displaying a glitch of colorful bars and static, with the word “SMILE” across it in red glowing, blocky text.

A digital drawing of intricate, symmetrical lines, curves, and dots in black in white that forms a depiction of a monster with eyes covering its body; making the viewer feel eerily observed by the piece.

A digital drawing done on a gray background of a limply arched body outlined in black. The abdomen of the figure is stretching upwards and coming apart, almost as if it is being pulled apart in strands. A bright red line comes out of the center of the abdomen, extending to the top of the painting, like a thread.

An achromatic digital photograph from the viewer's perspective of a person’s hands partially covering the camera lens, like they are covering their eyes, and looking down into their lap. From in between their fingers, parts of their lap are shown yet are unclear as a chromatic glitch surrounds and slightly distorts them.

A photograph of a mixed media collage with images and paintings of OCAD University buildings. Text is layered over the collage, mostly illegible commentary about social distancing. Some of the text reads: “No hugs I forgot to tell”, and “STAY AWAY KEEP YOUR SOCIAL DISTANCE”.

A photograph of a mixed media painted collage in various muted, earth tones. The left side of the collage features the painted bust of a fair-skinned person with long, dark hair; their expression solemn. The right side has various blue and white COVID-19 documents and infographics, some reading “COVID Alert: Download the app to protect yourself and your community” and “MASK COVERING REQUIRED”. Illegible text is etched into the painting.

A digitally rendered abstract figure composed of fragments of images interwoven and stacked on top of each other so that almost nothing is distinguishable. Much of it is tones of peach and beige, turning red towards the top. At the very top is an eyeball surrounded in red. The figure appears to be resting on a white platform on a wooden floor against a tan background, but the figure itself is taller than the background.
