Reverie

Thesis Projects

Reverie explores the space between imagination and reality, the connections between artists and their creative impulses, emphasizing the drive to visualize and preserve fleeting ideas. It reflects on how concepts are formed, transformed, and realized, and celebrates the moment of transition, when a project concludes and something entirely new begins.

A high-angle view of a sunny coastal scene shows an ocean rock pool with vibrant turquoise water bordered by a white edge and chain railing Many people in swimwear are sitting on the edge or in the pool A rugged dark brown wall covered in texture separates the calm pool from the deep blue-green ocean with gentle waves A man with visible tattoos is wading in the ocean water to the left of the pool and metal steps lead into the sea on the right

Inhale / Exhale

Third Year Show

Inhale / Exhale invites the viewer to slow down and notice the subtle exchanges that photography makes possible: between photographer and subject, image and observer, interior and exterior worlds. Standing among these photographs, we are reminded that the act of looking is a kind of breathing.

A full-body shot of a person with long dark flowing hair wearing a translucent white dress kneeling on a vibrant blue surface Their head is sharply tilted backward looking upwards as one hand delicately touches a golden intricate ornament near their temple A strong ethereal light source from the upper left illuminates the scene creating a pronounced dark shadow beneath the figure and a reflective glow on the blue ground lending an otherworldly and contemplative atmosphere

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is important to understand the longstanding history that has brought us to reside on this land known as Tkaronto and understand our place within its history.

This land we reside on carries with it imprints of its past. We as the students of Toronto Metropolitan university acknowledge this past and stand in solidarity with indigenous peoples and the deep wounds they carry. The present and future stewardship of this land, we hope will be one of equal opportunity, equal bounty and respect. Tkaronto is in the dish with one spoon territory. The dish with one spoon territory is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent indigenous nations and peoples. Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.

As we work to heal our communities, in shared responsibility, we encourage our viewers to donate to and support grassroots indigenous organizations to continue this advocacy.
