Featured Artist in Exhibition "Exit 12" (05/2016)
Had a 2-D wallspace for the best work of my photography series that I developed over 3 months featured in the Wallace and Grace Hayden Gallery on the University of Oregon campus.
In digital-video interviews, I randomly selected college peers to ask vulnerable, emotionally-provoking questions that completed the title of the project and captured the screen-cap that I thought best summarized their answers. I chose to execute this project in a party setting in order to select the most vulnerable environment. They are to be read as horizontal rows:
(First row) "...In Love"
(Second row) "...Embarrassed"
(Third row) "...Proud"
(Fourth row) "...Angry"
(Fifth row) "...Alone"
With my interest in psychology, I wanted to highlight that even though each person had a different answer to my question, we can find similar body languages among each participant. We have different stories, but have all experienced intense, ranging emotions that have greatly impacted our lives. During the gallery exhibition, it was incredible to be able to see people come and go and relate with several different facial expressions.
