CALL FOR GROUP EXHIBITION: Reflections
Ends on
Reflection refers to casting light back and forth, bouncing images between surfaces. It can convey the duality of introspection and observation, inner contemplation, or external mirroring. How do we reflect our interpretation of reality and imagination? Or the passage of time and personal growth?
Reflections invites first, second, and third-year students to submit works that explore their interpretations of Reflections, whether through its literal definition or concept.
