I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all those who made this portfolio possible. It is only with the support, advice, and encouragement of many that I have been able to pursue and complete this work.
Firstly, I must express my sincere appreciation to my advisor and section leaders this semester Dr. Ewington and Dr. Sample, whose expertise and understanding were invaluable throughout this process. Your guidance helped me at every stage of research and general understanding of Humes, and your patient and detailed feedback encouraged me to push my boundaries.
I am also profoundly thankful to the rest of the Humes professors, Dr. Boyer, Dr. Pyle, Dr. Green, Dr. Wills, and Dr. Bory for their insightful lectures during plenary, which were crucial in broadening my approach and deepening my understanding of Humes.
I would also like to thank my AT, Anthony, who always offered his unconditional support throughout the second semester and especially during my portfolio process.
Finally, I want to thank all the authors, artists, and theorists whose works have inspired the content of my portfolio.
My spring portfolio stands as a milestone in my academic journey, and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to learn from such knowledgeable and caring individuals. Thank you all for your part in my path.
