Art Senior Show 2023

For my final project as an art major, I wanted to visually represent my college experience as a Black girl and at a predominantly white institution (PWI). I wanted to express my emotions towards different experiences I have had a young Black woman. To achieve this, I thought it would be best to play around with the absence and presence of the face in different ways. I tried to use abstract symbolism to give direct clues to my own experiences. I decided to do this out of fear of college officials. My goal in doing this is to make my audience feel similar emotions to what I felt during my time in college. In addition, I want to educate them about things that are meaningful to young Black women students such as tokenism, hair, and education.
