Inhale / Exhale

Third Year Show

The average person takes almost 21,000 breaths per day and yet, we almost never think about it. To be alive and aware of the air in your lungs is something that we all take for granted.

To inhale is to draw the world inward: light, memory, touch. To exhale is to return something back: a story, a vulnerability, a mark of existence. What emerges is not a single portrait of humanity but a collective respiration. The works aim to breathe beside one another—tender, searching, sometimes uneasy—expanding and contracting through themes of identity, vulnerability, connection, and transformation. 

We want to emphasize how important it is to recognize and reflect on things that happen to us individually and collectively. That although we each have our own unique perspectives, together we create something special.

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.
