Welcome to my new blog, where I will be discussing a photo from my second year of high school. This photo represents my deep passion for the horror genre and zombies. It serves as a reflection of my emotional connection to the world of cinema and the powerful ability of art to evoke emotions. To me, it symbolizes the excitement and fascination I have for the horror genre. I find this photo intriguing as it combines two of my greatest interests: art and horror films, allowing me to visually create a harmonious blend of my preferences through drawing, something I have enjoyed since I was young. The story behind this photo dates back to my second year of high school, before the pandemic. In my art class, our teacher assigned us the task of creating a drawing of our choice.

I really don't know why I chose to study design, it just caught my attention. Growing up, I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to study, because I don't like to plan things for the distant future, I only do it in the short term, because I think that doing it in the long term makes life too linear and somewhat empty. I like things to be spontaneous. The decision to study design could say it was random, as it was the third option on my list of majors (Computer Engineering, Programming, Design) and the first one they accepted, but it wasn't even going to be on the list at first, however it gave me the impulse to add it, maybe because of the things I did in art class at school that were very related to what I'm studying now. So far my experience at FAU has been pretty good and I like the major, although you have to know which professors to choose to have a better college experience.
