The Oasis
(That Never Existed)
A Personal Project
October 2025
By McKenzie Gutierrez
An illustration of an imagined hotel, alive with the characters and memories that inhabit it. Inspired by my own nostalgia for places that shaped my childhood, this piece reflects my fascination with how architecture holds emotion and story. Blending structure and sentiment, I aim to capture the feeling of a place both remembered and reimagined.
