Abstract
My thesis exhibition is about perception and the ways in which it is subjective and limited. This body of work - altered photographs and text-based posters - focus on different roles of perception. It explores how outsiders perceive us, how we perceive ourselves, and the space where those viewpoints overlap. The photographs represent an outsider's point of view; the posters represent our point of view. When exhibited in concert with each other, they clash in perception. Together, my art asks this question: "How does one explain the limits of perception through art when art itself is a perceptual practice?" My written thesis will explore this question via the work, its content, and my insights.
