“Cordycep Monument” portrays a statue in ancient ruins that would be infested by parasitic fungi called cortisol using Procreate. “I had the fungi infest a remnant of a lost civilization like a live statue. If this were a game, you’d be able to interact with it and it would say some weird riddle,” Yang said.

Using Procreate and other mediums, senior Tina Yang promotes the study of mycology with her series “Myco” in her AP Studio Art class. Throughout her series, Yang introduces mythical elements such as live statues and laboratories where the main character solves mysteries around them. Yang wants others to view her artwork as a video game and learn while interacting with the work.
