Fishing for Poise (Julia P.'s thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 10:00am - 8:00pm PDT
Sit and listen. Sit and watch. Whether you're seeking poise or nothing at all, Fishing for Poise invites you into a quiet meditation. This short film, presented alongside a series of five paintings, is a reflection—on our actions, or perhaps the absence of them. It’s an exploration of stillness, subtlety, and the understated beauty found in simplicity. A study in aesthetics, and the quiet power of restraint.

Fractal Imprints (Eileen's thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 10:00am - 8:00pm PDT
Fractal Imprints is an multimedia artwork that delves into the evolving nature of memory, travel, and cultural symbols through the lens of fractal geometry—patterns that replicate and transform across scales. Drawing from personal travel experiences, the project reimagines architectural lines and structures from various cities, merging them into intricate fractal patterns. These designs serve as the foundation for a series of unique postcards, each capturing a layered, hybrid visual language shaped by interwoven cultural impressions. The work invites viewers to reflect on how places are remembered not as fixed images, but as ever-shifting constructs of experience and imagination.

FRANTIC ROMANTIC (Mack's thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 10:00am - 8:00pm PDT
THE BOOK: “FRANTIC ROMANTIC” is a three chapter poetry book, with each chapter representing a different person the artist had a relationship (of sorts) with. Each page is a collage with imagery that corresponds with the poetry on said page; it’s visually overwhelming, objectively oversharing, and one could even say “too much” — and believe me, they have! Get your copy today to finally answer the question on everyone’s minds: is it obsession or is it love? (Or, better yet: what’s the difference?)

Junk Jungle (Julia I.'s thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 10:00am - 8:00pm PDT
This project looks at New York through the perspective of junk - crushed cans, scribbles on walls, stickers, street mess. Noticing and photographing became my way of finding meaning and grounding in the chaos. The final result is an album and an exhibition. Come see it and make sense of it yourself.

Spaces Between Us (Alina's thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 10:00am - 8:00pm PDT
Spaces Between Us is my personal reflection on the role of distance in relationships. At its core is a LEGO sculpture that symbolizes the constantly evolving nature of human connection. The project is highly participatory—an audio piece and a set of reflection prompts invite participants to share confessions from their own lived experiences. These reflections are then exchanged in the form of origami hearts, creating a collective space of vulnerability and dialogue. My goal was to blur the line between artist and audience, turning every interaction into an integral part of the work itself.

Inspired by her life, classic fairytales, and vintage American aesthetics, "Stars and Lace and Birds in Flight" is a book you don't want to miss!

A city is an organism where everything is connected by invisible threads, networks of wires and streets.

The Paradox of Choice (Liliana's thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 12:00pm - 1:00pm PDT
The Paradox of Choice is a sharp, comedic exploration of indecision. The project blends humor with emotional honesty to unpack how choice, a western symbol of “freedom” can easily become a trap. We have all grown far too preoccupied with looking at ourselves though the lens of criticism, that we have seen a death of creative liberation. Through a cast of the absurd characters in Liliana’s mind, she crafts a narrative that’s as pleasing as it is chaotic. The Paradox of Choice is a mirror and a magnifying glass with it’s gaze set on choice paralysis.

In Quiet Company (Leilah's thesis)
Thursday May 8, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
In Quiet Company is a five-part anthology that explores how we process emotions, cope with pain, and how healing is dependent on connection. Each segment uses a different visual language to navigate our emotional landscapes. Created to evoke something felt rather than explained, the film prioritizes emotional resonance over narrative—capturing quiet, complex moments that speak to deeply human, shared experiences. The process was experimental, shaped through improvisation with actors, collaborative devising, and on-set exploration with the camera, allowing the film to evolve organically. Together, the pieces form a portrait of vulnerability, growth, and connectivity.
