she\/her<br \/>Major: Design<\/p><p><em>Hello, my name is Ayla Carls and I am a young artist and designer from Seattle, WA. I grew up with the love for creating and have involved myself in many different mediums. I love painting with watercolor, gouache and acrylic, illustrating with markers, oil pastel, adobe illustrator, and have recently dived into the world of stained glass. Most of my work stems from the world around me and how I am interacting with society. I try to find beauty in the small things and the imperfections of the human hand. These things inspire me to continue creating. My style tends to be organic, reflecting the naturalness of nature and the human hand. I have found so much joy in being an artist and designer and one of my goals is to spread that joy to others.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-253f391d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"253f391d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26d5060d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26d5060d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Fruit of America<\/strong><\/h3><p>Fruit of America is about comparing the relations between the German fascist regime of the 1930\u2019s and 40\u2019s to what is happening in present day America. This is an interactive art piece. The audience is able to pick up each slice and read additional text on the backside of the slices. Each slice is labeled with a characteristic of fascism. There are many characteristics of fascism, in fact it is hard to define fascism because there is no concrete definition. But there are many characteristics of fascism shared across many of the past and present regimes. However, for this project I am focusing on Hitlers fascist regime because it is most relevant to our political climate today. As we know, history repeats itself, Fruit of America is intended to create awareness about the fascist road America is going down under the presidency of Donald<br \/>Trump. You see why it\u2019s an orange&#8230;?<\/p><p>My first approach when beginning this project was sourcing scrap wood and materials. I did not want to purchase wood in order to be more sustainable and keep to my morals about upcycling. My project is made of recycled wood and steel. The base of the piece and slices that make up the orange are made of wood. The rim of the piece is made of steel that I bent and welded to fit around the base piece. For the lettering, I used vinyl stickers to get a clean, readable consistent type.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-316e1333 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"316e1333\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12990fa9 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"12990fa9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16d75162 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16d75162\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>WET PAINT<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USFCA Design &amp; Fine Arts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class of 2025<br \/>Senior Projects<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1383d89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1383d89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfca.edu\/arts-sciences\/programs\/undergraduate\/design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DESIGN<\/a><br \/><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcadesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Past Exhibitions<\/a><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12f1bd77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12f1bd77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfca.edu\/arts-sciences\/programs\/undergraduate\/fine-arts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FINE ARTS<\/a><br \/><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcafinearts\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65d5c0ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65d5c0ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/information\/\"><strong>INFORMATION<\/strong><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/exhibition\/\"><strong>EXHIBITION<\/strong><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/directory\"><strong>DIRECTORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition Information Directory Ayla Carls Pronouns: she\/herMajor: Design Hello, my name is Ayla Carls and I am a young artist and designer from Seattle, WA.
