Cosmeceutical Collection
Documenting the struggles and darker sides of the makeup industry, both in the past and the present. Includes ingredients of makeup and their side effects.
While on the outside the work appears to be a regular novel, upon opening it the viewer is confronted with a blush case, a compact mirror, and a tube of mascara. Within each makeup product is written histories and stories of the negative and often hidden dangers of makeup. Often, our identity is closely tied into our appearance, and by addressing the harsh realities of the makeup industry, Bailey forces viewers to confront their own identities as well.

Delhi Braveheart
South Asian women, Indian gender roles, rape
"Delhi Braveheart" is a poem by Tiara Sharma, an 18 year old South Asian American, in reaction to the infamous 2012 Delhi Rape. It juxtaposes how Indian men treat women in different contexts: Goddesses, mothers, and young women. The image above the poem excerpts is of traditional South Asian jewelry that has aesthetic, religious, and social significance and worn by women of all ages, even on depictions of Goddesses.

Adopted
adoption, identity, race, hispanic
My broadside addresses the issues and identity struggles that may stem from adoption. My birthparents both identified as Latinx but I was raised by Germanic/caucasian parents in a non-diverse home and town. Growing up it was very difficult for me to reconcile my outer appearance and the cultures I identified with. ADOPTED was meant to invoke the harsh and instantaneous categorization that people perpetuated onto me from an early age, which set me up for years of confliction.

Barbie
gender roles, feminine identity, childhood, sexism
"Barbie" tells the story of a painful childhood memory that seems inconsequential at first glance, but when examined more deeply hints at the problematic nature of indoctrinated gender roles. "Barbie" uses Barbie Dolls to exemplify the idealization and objectification of femme individuals and critique the widespread complacency with which people accept both the gender binary and the very strict roles that come with it.

1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?
"1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?" explores Columbus and his involvement in "discovering" the "New World." The text consists of poetry, dictionary definitions, magazine/newspaper cutouts, quotes from Columbus' and other conquistadors diaries, and short histories throughout hundreds of years. All the history and its text is true and accurate. The images are from magazines and newspaper cutouts, but the majority of images have been adapted from 16th Century engravings by Theodore de Bry. The book questions how a people and their established civilizations can be "discovered." The book is a criticism of the praise we give Columbus, and is a recount of history, told with all the facts.

Race, Slave Trade, Imagined History
A collection of 17 etched portraits and nameplates, Resistance is Useless works to counteract the systematic erasure of enslaved Africans stolen and exploited by the British for plantation work in the West Indies. The work imagines and pieces together history to construct narratives and images slave owners would have resisted in their quest to destroy the humanity of the African people.

TCK
Third Culture Kids, Identity, Home
My broadside, TCK, references the identity conflicts that are present in Third Culture Kid's reflections of home. While I am originally from Illinois, I grew up in Singapore and have moved around ever since. When I am asked where I am from, I juggle a few different possible responses, none of which I whole-heartedly identify with. TCK is a representation of my internal identity conflict in relation to home.

The Fire that Burns
A memorial to Tatissa, her work, and her incredible legacy
The flames represent the power and strength of Tatissa, along with the broad scope of influence she had over everyone in each of her communities. The text describes the ways in which I will remember her and her accomplishments. The paradox between the warmth of the flames and their inherent risks encapsulate part of Tatissa's legacy, and the title demonstrates that while Tatissa is no longer physically with us, the depth of her work remains central to communities at Scripps and it is what will remain with me.
