Our Mission
Periaktoi's mission is to produce a journal of art and literature that reflects the diversity of experience and inspiring talent present in the Baylor community. Art and literature provide unique value to our community and serve as a vehicle for expressing the inexpressible, for exploring human experience in all its varied dimensions. In recognition of this value, Periaktoi seeks to promote access and expand interest in the arts at Baylor, while providing a forum for artists, musicians and writers to showcase their work to the broader community.

- Ceramics and 3D
I created a tea set used in the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, Gongfu. This investigation was inspired by my interest in Chinese culture, after studying mandarin for six years, and my interest in ceramics.
- Ceramics and 3D
My portfolio follows an inquiry into the synthesis of specific materials, namely resin, paper and string. This investigation was further concentrated through an investigation into specific forms within the limitations of the medium.
- Ceramics and 3D
I explored the evolution of a tall cylindrical form that blows out into a circular ball, before beginning to collapse. The progression was inspired by the expansion of air in a form but incorporates an abstract imaginative twist in how it grows.

Playing Minecraft allows me to be creative and social, but this year I wanted to accomplish something more while playing the game I enjoy. I decided to recreate my school’s campus in Minecraft to allow others to explore campus in a non-traditional way.

The idea behind the first suit of armor I created (1-6) was how people protect themself from societal criticism and isolation by mirroring the behavior or ideas of people that surround them. Those who are afraid of being labeled “different” by society sometimes decide, consciously or subconsciously, to hide their true nature by pretending to be just like those around them.
