My portfolio includes work that I’ve done as gifts, works created for exploration, and some from my AP Art portfolio. The theme of my AP concentration was the intersection of entropy and innovation. My pieces reflect the tension between human creation and natures tendency to chaos or even destruction. It highlights the faults in human creation\/ order and the beauty of natural disorder. The fight for an equilibrium between growth and decomposition is present in many of the following pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
