Senior Thesis Statement – Columbus State University - Spring 2020


I am sure every graduating Senior feels a sense of eagerness for this moment. To finally be done and have their degree completed and celebrate their work. For me, this has been quite a journey and a long time in the making. It was important for me to recognize that journey and the obstacles I overcame to get to this moment.  
 

Over the last 4 years my family has lost several loved ones. It changes your perspective on life definitively. Working through loss and moving forward is difficult. So, remembering my loved ones, became the deciding factor of what I wanted to display in my work for this exhibition. 
 

When I began working on this project, I had in mind a message I wanted to present. I wanted to capture these ideal moments and memories with family members I had lost. It is about grief, but also about beauty. Beauty in these perfectly captured moments.  
 

I want my audience to feel a personal connection with these drawings. To have a nostalgic familiarity, like they could be looking at their own family memories. It was important for my work to be small and intimate. I can remember as a child flipping through our family’s old photo album, the cracking of the plastic pages and seeing my parents youthful and all smiles. And going through old photos of my sister in l aw remembering when she was healthy and beautiful. 
 

Posing in front of the camera, happy and holding on to each other, this is how I want to remember my family. The importance of these moments we have with our loved ones is undeniable. They are precious and should not be taken for granted.  I hope you enjoy this collection and remember the good times always.
