”This piece is a narrative story about an art student who is almost finished with college and recounts major events leading up to this day. Most of the animation involves objects that morph into an entirely different object.”

”An exploration in glass enamel firing is used to show the process of transformation threw collage pieces that can be wall hung or worn. Inspired by local nature cycles, memories and dream diary entries this is a body of work about coming to terms with mortality and understanding the unknown.”
Alayna Wall
Computer Art & Animation
”Alayna Wall, 23, is a BFA candidate whose work delves into the impact of image-driven culture on personal identity. Her latest piece, Reflection, challenges conventional notions of self-care, revealing how beauty ideals and media-fueled expectations can turn self-expression into a cycle of overconsumption. Through symbolic storytelling, Alayna prompts viewers to reconsider what it means to truly care for oneself beyond superficial standards.”
Ashbriane Hines
Photography
”My work explores the complex nature of addiction and oral fixations. By portraying individuals engaging in behaviors like vaping, smoking, drinking, and compulsive actions such as thumb-sucking, nail-biting, etc. I use photography to highlight the varied ways people cope through addictive substances and habits. Through this visually dynamic piece, I invite viewers to confront the often-hidden patterns of dependency in everyday life.”
