Time Tracing

The MA Grad Show celebrates the outstanding accomplishments of twenty one graduates from various fields, including fine art, design, artisanship, and photography. Through their multifaceted expressions, these artists explored the complexities of human condition; delving into the realms of time, ecology, history, diaspora, memory, identity, and the essence of existence.

"Time Tracing" draws inspiration from Carol Becker's perspective on temporality. It invites the viewers to ponder over the dynamic nature of our existence and the transformative power of time. The exhibition explores adaptation and navigation through the constant flux of time. As the audiences witness the captivating artworks, they are reminded of the ever evolving nature of their experiences, where the past, present, and future intersect in a harmonious symphony of creative expression.

The collection of artworks covers a wide range of themes and ideas: from protecting animals on highways to connecting nature and memorials; from reflecting on the desire to transform childhood traumas to contemplating the diaspora of present circumstances; from reminiscing one’s past to commemorating traditions. Through the viewers' unique perspectives, the artists challenge them to confront the intricacies of human existence, prompting thought-provoking dialogues while fostering a deeper understanding of shared narratives.

As a celebration of personal growth, artistic transformation, and the indomitable spirit of creativity that transcends boundaries, the MA Grad Show manifests the artists' journeys. It reflects their commitment to honing their skills, exploring their identities, and emerging as beacons of artistic brilliance, ready to illuminate the world with the works of art.
