Kaern Hochman Brown

In Anonymous@theBeach, I am taking photographs, literal representations of reality, and turning them into computer-generated abstract art. Thematically, I am exploring a common yearning to maintain privacy in public settings. I keep in mind that I am prying into that veil of privacy through my lens.

Labkhand Olfatmanesh

Employing the common cultural reference of hopscotch, the artists explore the universal struggles that girls face as they grow into adulthood. The character relives the personal and political moments of her past, such as war, marriage, generational trauma, and gendered social expectations.

Hollywood

Jared Fortunato

“Hollywood” is a conceptual, fine art landscape project charting an emotional and physical journey through the heart of this storied location. It contrasts the idea of Hollywood against the real “Hollywood” of my experience, highlighting the relationship between place and self-perception.
