Photos of UCSB by […]

My name is Linus. I only own a cell phone camera but that never stopped me from seeing the world and documenting all my ups and downs. At merely 19, I abruptly told my parents I was taking on 25 countries on my own starting with the train journey up the Pacific West Coast. My journey […]

These three works illustrate my recent thoughts and emotions around being at an awkward stage between being a student and an independent adult. I find it comforting and empowering to portray strong, muscular women in my art since the […]

Marchers walked through the Arbor and North Hall before ending their march at Cheadle Hall, taping declarations of their student debt on Cheadle’s windows. Many carried […]
