Abstract Details

2021, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
In this essay I lay bare my theoretical framework for the artworks titled "Unrest" and "A Historical Process: Unchanged Representation" featured in the MFA thesis exhibition, "Proximity". I investigate the history of photography in relation to the mug shot while focusing on my brother's experience with mental illness and the criminal justice system in my pursuit to investigate questions of power, and photography's ability to honor and villainize.
