Hailey Peterson's undergraduate design portfolio includes six works exploring surrealism, architecture, spirituality, and subterranean spaces. The portfolio includes value drawings of Frank Gehry's Weisman Art Museum, surrealistic dream paintings, an ephemeral ice dwelling sculpture, interconnecting universe drawings exploring life and nature, a simple spiritual sukkah, and conceptual renderings of mysterious subterranean voids. The works apply different mediums like drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital rendering to imaginatively interpret themes.
