  • I am Shaina, an outgoing, caring, and creative person. Some of the most important things to me are my family, friends, drawings, and writings. The outside environment inspires most things in my life, including my art and writings. Everything from Central Park to the strangers I see on the subway remind me of things and ideas and other people in my life. I enjoy reading a lot, and other essays, poems, and paintings often inspire me creatively, as I enjoy trying to replicate aspects of them I like the most.

Final Project
The Gaze of Three
  • Who is it that stares
    Back at me
    One of three
    Or one of thee. 

    A gaze leveled at me
    I am forced to look back
    I mirror myself
    Reflecting the gaping hole where the eyes should be.

    The figures hunch
    Like witches in a children’s fairy tale
    Encircling a cauldron
    Holding knowledge one could only wish to see 

    As the figures look out at me
    I wonder what they see

    Do they whisper?
    Sharing judgments of my features
    My posture too low
    Sinking into the ground like the cloths they are draped in 

    Or do they vie to speak with me
    To share their knowledge
    Hidden behind deceptively empty faces 

    The gaze of three looks out at me
    Returning my thoughts back for all to see.
