Exhibit Work
Music has always held a special place in my heart. Since I discovered my first favorite song, music has always made me feel very strong emotions; sometimes sadness, other times nostalgia, but many times it has inspired me. It’s hard to understand why, but good music makes me feel like I can achieve anyhting; it can change how and what we feel like nothing else. Everyone has that song that takes them back to better day, or a song they can’t stop playing on their way to work. Music itself is something like magic, and it brings people together like no other artform. For many years now my love for the arts has grown greater everyday and with this project I wanted to create something that I myeslf would be a fan of. Full of art, music, and culture, I wanted to create an environment of peace and euphoria; so I created Paradise.
With Paradise, my aim was to create a music festival that would bring people from all around the world together to enjoy great music, endulge in baeutiful art, and make memories they’ll remeber till their last breathe. The festival is a three-day experience you’ll wish never ended. More than just a festival, it is a gathering to celebrate music, art, and the human spirit. Full of entertainment, peace, and the greatest musicians of our generation, there is so much to see in Paradise. I want your experience from the moment you step onto the festival grounds, to feel as if you’re part of something larger than yourselft. When you’re in paradise, you become one with the crowds and you start to feel a bond that unites us all throught the music. Art is always subjective, and music is no exception, but even with all our unique tastes, you’re guaranteed to enjoy some of the many performances throughout your stay.
The music consists primarily of indie/hip-hop genres, with secondary genres like RnB, Electric, and Latin. But Paradise is more than just what happens on stage. It’s the late-night memories, the spontaneous adventures, and the larger-than-life art installations that make you feel like you’re on another planet. It’s the feeling of connection—singing along with thousands of strangers who somehow feeling like family, discovering a new favorite artist you’ll follow forever, and experiencing moments that can’t be recreated anywhere else. Paradise isn’t just a festival—it’s a state of mind, a place where music and memories live on long after it ends.
Paradise isn’t just a senior project. Paradise is a prototype for a very special idea in my bucket list. One day I would like to create a real music festival that, much like Paradise, celebrates music, art, and life. I love being a fan of music, but more than anything I like creating and having an impact. Creating a music festival would allow me to bring many of my passions together from music, to design, to reaching the lives of many. Many times in this life, we find ourselves in dark places, or lost in overwhelming chaos, and while these times are inevitable, I believe that only together people can fully live in peace and happiness. Paradise is a first look at something that could grow larger than I ever imagined. I don’t know what I will create in this life, I don’t know where being me will one day take me, but I sure hope to create something that brings unity and makes us feel like we are one again; a human experience.
