Photography for me is a captured moment of history that allows you to escape from the present. Each photo is a moment of my life through my eyes, it captures every adventure I make. It focuses on the randomness of life bringing out a beauty that isn’t really recognized.
I am Aubrie Testa, a freshman visual artist at CAPA High School. All of these pieces were done with various different types of media, all traditional. I focus mainly on drawing portraits and portraying the beauty within the human figure through color and stylization.
The pictures are mostly landscapes and are supposed to signify how beautiful nature is.
This is a poem in iambic pentameter based upon Othello, written in an imitation of Shakespearean language. It explores the effects of jealousy upon the three principal characters in the play, and in Iago’s case, his manipulation of it. The first verse is from Iago’s point of view, the second from Desdemona’s, and the third from Othello’s.
What is happening? Hollowed hearts now fill to the brim with catastrophe And insanity becomes an accepted normality in society. Tolerance is shunned with the word ‘fake’, Isolation clashes with forlornness, Sad is the new happy; God can’t save us now. Onlookers from above peek at us with disgust, Inciting lucifer to take us already. Never would I have thought that humanity would crumble this fast. Ghouls run the streets now. Only thing to save us is ourselves. Narcissism rules like no other.
This piece is about the daily struggles of being Asian American in this country, dealing with issues like the model minority myth and the COVID-19 pandemic. (Excuse the aggressive language)
Hints of Pink blue yellow orange purple Floating across the sky Like pieces of cotton candy Escaping from the toddler’s greedy little mouth
I made this to express what I feel it means to be a woman
