“Losing Humanity” by Alessandra Alkema

Note from the artist: “My exact inspiration was quite random: I felt like autumn and Halloween had already started for me so I decided to do an eerie and spooky digital piece. I also took in a factor of my own life, how change and transformation was coming and I was about to become a college student. I decided to make a piece of "transformation" while tying my love for Halloween, drawing a woman "losing her humanity" and becoming a different creature.”

Alessandra Alkema is a freshman undergraduate pursuing a major in Neuroscience and a minor in Japanese with the hopes of attending med school and becoming the first doctor in her family.
