This site is a portfolio of my undergraduate work in the digital arts and humanities. I'm a religion major interested in bringing digital tools into the humanities and incorporating humanities methodologies into the realm of digital scholarship.
In addition to travelling to Europe for the Larson International Fellowship, I studied abroad in India and Thailand on the Carleton Buddhist Studies Global Engagement Program. I took the photos below in both countries during the fall of 2022. These images are in large part snapshots of calmness and tranquility in an unfamiliar and often chaotic environment that was very far from home.
