Informed by their rigorous explorations of objects, language, the body and space, the five graduating seniors of the PCA Fine Arts and Photography departments, Heather Beaumont, Kristina Chan, Jiyoon Chang, Elena Gileva, and Kaamna Patel, will present an exhibition that activates images, materials and movements with questions of context and identity.
