Psychological Landscapes
Exhibition Dates | September 30 – October 4
Reception | Wednesday, October 1, 4:00–6:00 PM
“Psychological Landscapes” is a photographic series exploring mental health and the battles those with anxiety, depression, etc. face on a daily basis. The installation, featuring photography, auditory elements, and creative lighting design, serves as a reminder that, below the surface, everyone is facing their own battles of the mind. Through photographing self-portraits in run down, abandoned, and lonesome spaces, the series explores different aspects of fighting oneself: from self-hatred, running away, being crushed by the weight of existence, or simply giving up. The portraits put to imagery what cannot always be expressed correctly with words about being in a depressive state, or an anxious spiral: What is the experience of going insane? How does it feel to have no escape from your own head? Each Psychological landscape is an attempt to offer insight into this world and open up a conversation into the otherwise taboo subject of mental health.

INFATUATIONS
Exhibition Dates | September 30 – October 4
Reception | Wednesday, October 1, 4:00–6:00 PM
INFATUATIONS is an exclusively ink collection of my obsessions with my environment and relationships, mostly overshadowed by the attachment to love and the fear of isolation. Unable or perhaps unwilling to change, I feel myself clinging to love as a method of escape from my warped reality of everyday life, and the dread loneliness instilled in me. I obsess, I'll swallow every second I possibly can with the people I love, I'll wallow in jealousy when they share their time with others, and while I feel self-aware, do I really believe I understand how harmful this habit of mine is? My comic, An Echo of Love, is my personal adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, and reflects both this compulsive need for companionship, while reflecting the self-destruction I know inevitably comes along with it. My accompanying pieces depict the less reflective moments - my outbursts and my tears.

Questions of the Flesh
Exhibition Dates | September 30 – October 4
Reception | Wednesday, October 1, 4:00–6:00 PM
Is praying to a god you don’t believe in a manifestation of faith, or of doubt? This body of work investigates the act of questioning as a critical force in confronting systems of belief, authority, and control. It considers what is at stake when we interrogate the inherited ideologies—religious, cultural, and social—that shape our understanding of ourselves and our society. What does it mean to question the divine? To challenge the hierarchies that govern our lives? And when we dismantle the structures that have defined us, will the ruins of a broken system be any better? This show invites you to step beyond the comfort of certainty and inhabit the complexity of the space between belief and doubt. It is here, in the discomfort of not knowing, that growth becomes possible.
