Franz is a 21 year old Southern Californian multi-media artist who expresses her extremity of emotions through visual art, music, and poetry. Being a first-generation American and the daughter of two Jewish-Uruguayan immigrants, she has always felt a clash between her collectivist upbringing and the individualistic culture of the United States. Writing, to her, brings calmness out of this ever-present dissonance. Whenever she feels overwhelmed by life, is pulled-- both internally and externally-- in two opposing directions, or goes through existential contemplation, she turns to words as a way to ease her mental turmoil. Themes of duality, love, femininity, nature, death, and rebirth are prominent throughout her creations.
