Articulations of Liberation and Agency in Yanagi Miwa's "Elevator Girls"
Creators: name: Chamberlain, Rachel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Miwa Yanagi’s Elevator Girls series, a collection of glossy photographs featuring groups of similarly clad women lingering in expansive, empty arcades, made its international debut in 1996. While the pieces garnered positive reactions, Yanagi found that most Western viewers read her work as predominantly “Oriental”—confirming stereotypes of a highly polished techno-topic Japan that was still negotiating gender equality.
In this thesis, I explore alternative ways of reading Yanagi’s Elevator Girls series, which, I argue, call attention to myopic views of commercialism and identity in order to provide an alternative reading of these women as agents of transgression and ideological transcendence. Whereas many viewed Yanagi’s works as a comment on capitalist machinations, where consumerism has produced soulless, vapid feminine identities, I focus on the ways in which these women exercise agency without relying on notions of an individualized, unique ego.

Advancements in MRI Techniques for Knee Cartilage Repair: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Synthory AI
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This systematic review evaluates the role of advanced MRI techniques in knee cartilage repair, focusing on structural and biochemical assessments and their implications for treatment outcomes. Utilizing the Synthory.AI service, the review synthesized 15 articles from PubMed and PubMed Central™ databases, spanning publications from 2010 to 2024. Key findings highlight T2 relaxation time mapping as a reliable biomarker for cartilage integrity, while advanced modalities like dGEMRIC differentiate between healthy and repaired tissues. Despite promising results, challenges such as small sample sizes and variability in imaging protocols limit generalizability. Future research should focus on multicenter trials with standardized protocols and longitudinal designs to enhance reproducibility and clinical utility, ultimately improving patient care strategies in cartilage repair.
Epic Significance: Placing Alphonse Mucha's Czech Art in the Context of Pan-Slavism and Czech Nationalism
Creators: name: Dusza, Erin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Alphonse Mucha is primarily known for his early career producing Parisian Art Nouveau posters. However in 1910, Mucha left Paris to return to his home in the Czech lands where he concentrated on creating works for his country. Unfortunately, the later part of his career receives little to no attention in most art history books. His collection, The Slav Epic, represents ideas of Pan-Slavism, patriotism, and national identity. A leading scholar of national identity was Johann Gottfried Herder, a Czech sympathizer who influenced writers such as Jan Kollár and the historian František Palacký. Mucha’s works provided a visual representation of national identity and collective history specifically called for by these scholars. This thesis seeks to shed light on the late works of this artist, tracing the ever-present Slavonic influences, and also to place them in context within Czech Nationalism and Pan-Slavism in order to establish their historical significance.
A Renegotiation of the Role of the Artist in the 1950s Era of Mechanical Reproduction: The Early Careers of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg
Creators: name: Scoggins, Rebekah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Although Walter Benjamin argues printed materials are without traditional art authority or aura, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg’s work exists in the tradition of high art despite their use of mass-produced materials. Johns and Rauschenberg rely on the distracted attention of the viewer in the age of reproduction to engender reassessment of materials in their works. They use objects that contribute to the new distracted audience but create works that force the viewer toward intense contemplation; their works also combat trends Benjamin identifies to stake their claim as artists of original works while remaining relevant to the modern era. Johns merges print, mechanized reproduction, painting, and sculpture to subvert and reaffirm his place as the artist of an auratic object. Rauschenberg employs ready-mades, painting, printed materials, and sculpture in hybrid art works that unite mechanization with human facture to renegotiate and expose the overstimulation of reproduced objects within society.

description: AstroPix is a novel monolithic high-voltage CMOS active pixel sensor proposed for next generation medium-energy gamma-ray observatories like the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X). For AMEGO-X AstroPix must maintain a power consumption of less than $1.5~\rm{mW/{cm}^2}$ while having a pixel pitch of up to $500~\rm{μm}$. We developed the second and third versions of AstroPix, namely AstroPix2 and AstroPix3. AstroPix2 and AstroPix3 exhibit power consumptions of $3.4~\rm{mW/{cm}^2}$ and $4.1~\rm{mW/{cm}^2}$, respectively. While AstroPix2 has a pixel pitch of $250~\rm{μm}$, AstroPix3 achieves the desired size for AMEGO-X with a pixel pitch of $500~\rm{μm}$. Performance evaluation of a single pixel in an AstroPix2 chip revealed a dynamic range from 13.9 keV to 59.5 keV, with the energy resolution meeting the AMEGO-X target value ($<10\%$ (FWHM) at 60 keV). We performed energy calibration on most of the pixels in an AstroPix3 chip, yielding a mean energy resolution of 6.2 keV (FWHM) at 59.5 keV, with 44.4% of the pixels satisfying the target value. The dynamic range of AstroPix3 was assessed to span from 22.2 keV to 122.1 keV. The expansion of the depletion layer aligns with expectations in both AstroPix2 and AstroPix3. Furthermore, radiation tolerance testing was conducted on AstroPix. An AstroPix2 chip was subjected to an equivalent exposure of approximately 10 Gy from a high-intensity $\rm{^{60}Co}$ source. The chip was fully operational after irradiation although a decrease in gain by approximately 4% was observed.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: The aim of this thesis is to survey the abstraction of the human experience obscuring the confines between form and expression, sound and visual, experience and imitation. In establishing multiple levels of communication, I began with gathering discarded found objects, which I repurposed through building hybrid musical sculptures. The act of mark making mapped out systems and direction, and escalated into a form of hybrid musical notation. Both forms of hybrids informed each other in its development process. When the hybrid instruments and notation were placed in an environment together with the elements of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), it created a natural progression for performance. The objects required interaction: to be hit, tapped, bowed and plucked, with their sounds processed through DSP, and projected back into the audience, who participated in creating interactivity. In producing mechanical musical instruments, along with mark making, installation and experimental sound recordings, a platform is established allowing for a dialogue between audio and visual elements, and human experience.
On Coming Home

Year: 2012

description: In today’s society, more of the population is finding itself with multiple points of reference to what they consider as home. Anyone who finds they have more than one place that they feel tied to for one reason or another, considers the impact of these places on their identity. The scale of experience with the places where we live, visit and grow up influences the scale of impact upon our identity. Even a vacation or a visit to a certain place influences us, and thus also changes the place because we interact with it. I am showing, through sculptural and creative media, the layering effect of locational identity and the journeys we make to physically and conceptually link those identities.

Year: 2012

description: (Unrelated), a series of language-based works made up of chalkboard drawings, dictionary erasures and accumulations of text, highlights the inability of language to fully capture notions of modern racial identity. Rather, in (Unrelated), definitions are hidden, revealed, allowed and humored, but rarely settled. It is natural to seek delineation between oneself and all else, but it is a particularly persistent urge for those who engage in the pursuit of racial clarity. In To Be Real, an essay which heavily influenced this body of work, Danzy Senna writes: “Growing up mixed in the racial battlefield of Boston, I yearned for something just out of my reach- an ‘authentic’ identity to make me real. Everyone but me, it seemed at the time, fit into a neat cultural box, had a label to call their own.”[1] (Unrelated) quietly explodes the “neat cultural box.”

description: Putting Lipstick on a Sculpture is a mixed body of sculptural and two-dimensional work investigating our society’s superficial expectations of beauty.  The glitzy covers of glitter and spandex are used over more traditional structural materials to confuse the viewer’s expectations, much like labels categorizing usual fine art.  The sculptures are on display for the audience’s aesthetic judgments, while paintings blur lines of what is classified as traditional and acceptable for emphasis.
Beads of Empowerment: The Role of Body Art in Challenging Pokot Gender Identities
Creators: name: Fleischman, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Pokot female body art identifies a woman’s beauty, husband, and social rank among the Pokot community through color, pattern, and mass. In the last sixty years, as a result of Kenya’s entrance into the global economy, Pokot women have turned a “traditional” art form into a commodity, creating a product for Western tourists that, in turn, provides Pokot women with a means to earn income that is less readily under male control. Pokot women consciously create beadwork that alludes to the “Idea of Africa,” while also conforming to Western standards of “colonial chic.” The result is a body art that visualizes a harmonious interaction between “exotic” and “modern.” This thesis argues that with the successful integration of beadwork into the global market, Pokot women have strategically identified an alternative to their traditional, gender-related power constraints and challenged historical constructions of Pokot gender identity.

description: The road to becoming an artist is paved with much confusion as we try to mold our brains into understanding abstract concepts and ideas.  I became fascinated with how people perceive art, in particular, southern males that have no previous knowledge of art history or desire to learn.  I contemplated long and hard about this and asked myself the question, “What if they did want to understand art?”  The only difference between my brethren and I is this desire to pursue this seemingly foreign world.  By creating an imaginary world and culture based on my own southern upbringing I have created a series of figurative paintings exploring various contemporary art themes in an effort to clarify my own understanding of the two worlds I am closest to and how they may or may not be related.

Recontextualizing Neglected Space in Community
Creators: name: Normoyle, Catherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Neglected areas are everywhere. They are seen as foreclosed homes, commercial properties, rundown lots and even small spaces like broken signage and over-sized potholes. My investigation, Abandonment ex-plores how graphic design can be used to identify neglected areas and add meaning that challenges exist-ing perceptions of these areas. This becomes a way to suggest revitalization without actually redesigning a specific space. Abandonment matches carefully designed phrases, inspired by first hand research of community members, with neglected urban environments of Atlanta. The camouflaged environmental graphics, created by means of DOT signs, chalk drawings, and blackboards recontextualize environments to softly build curiosity, activate new thinking, and potentially spark reinvention. Perhaps if citizens ques-tion these neglected spaces, they may begin to imagine new purposes for these spaces and reclaim them? The investigation is thoroughly documented and will continue to mature over time. To follow the project online, visit urbanartatlanta.com.

description: My ceramic sculptures are abstracted portraits of friends and family. They reveal no clues about the age, the gender, or the physical identity of the subjects. Instead, they are abstracted character traits rendered in clay with a biomorphic sensibility. I translate a particular personality trait of a friend or family member into a tangible object and arrange those pieces referencing botanical forms. I tend to choose the negative traits that cause friction in our relationship. My work is a way of acknowledging and dealing with the struggle these traits have caused. I structure my pieces as a floral arrangement to transfer an otherwise unfavorable experience into a positive one.

description: In this study, we conducted simulations to find the geometric aberrations expected for images taken by the Main Survey Camera (MSC) of the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) due to its motion. As anticipated by previous work, our findings indicate that the geometric distortion of light impacts the focal plane's apparent scale, with a more pronounced influence as the size of the focal plane increases. Our models suggest that the effect consistently influences the pixel scale in both the vertical and parallel directions. The apparent scale variation follows a sinusoidal distribution throughout one orbit period. Simulations reveal that the effect is particularly pronounced in the center of the Galaxy and gradually diminishes along the direction of ecliptic latitude. At low ecliptic latitudes, the total aberration leads to about 0.94 pixels offset (a 20-minute exposure) and 0.26 pixels offset (a 300-second exposure) at the edge of the field of view, respectively. Appropriate processings for the geometric effect during the CSST pre- and post-observation phases are presented.

The Performance of Femininity in the Works of Yinka Shonibare MBE
Creators: name: Dano, Rhonda
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Current scholarship on contemporary artist Yinka Shonibare MBE focuses on analyzing his deconstruction of identities through ready-made cultural paradigms epitomized by the use of Dutch wax textiles as an expression of “African-ness.” Through subversive tactics, Shonibare creates disoriented views of power that unveil the masquerade of identity. What is often unstated within this critique, however, is the role of the feminine performance. From the swinging maiden to the ballerina sur les pointes, women and femininity maintain an indelible role in Shonibare’s production. Thus, by evaluating gender with greater precision, I will highlight Shonibare’s dependency on stereotypes of femininity and the female body for cultural intelligibility.

Exploring Islamic Geometries
Creators: name: Al-Ainati, Maryam
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Islamic design is a rich art form with spiritual and meditative meaning expressed through its infinite pattern. The iterative process of creating pattern, unified yet diverse, is an intri-cate geometric path conveying conceptual exploration. Process of form development in Is-lamic patterns defines its growing design, seeking explicit relationships between unity and multiplicity. As the grid expands and patterns unfold, new concepts are introduced for pat-tern exploration and formation. Reoccurring focal points of the Islamic geometries mark significant moments in which these patterns take form. By fusing traditional Islamic design fundamentals with contemporary concepts for interiors, I expand the realm of this rich art form from a two dimensional form to a three dimensional structure.

description: My porcelain sculptural work explores the passage from life to death in the form of boat imagery.  Many cultures and belief systems have water and boat references in their mythoi surrounding the passage of the soul or spirit to the afterlife. I combine many disparate boat elements into each piece in order to allude to an archetypal form.   The black and white tones refer to mourning rituals of various cultures as well as the traditional practice of scrimshaw, in which sailors once made carvings on whale bone or walrus tusks and then inked the lines. My boats are intended as metaphors for passage into the afterlife and symbols of human commonality. They hold their place in both the physical and the spiritual realms.
Installation Art as a Means of Exploring Place and Activity Fragmentation in Interior Environments Resulting from Contemporary Digital Technology
Creators: name: Christian, Cotter
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description:  This thesis explores how information and communication technology creates activity fragmentation within the interior built environment.  This paper analyzes the work of psychologists, philosophers, architects, artists, designers, and others who have considered our relationship to physical space as well as how technological advancements alter our behavior and perspective.  In addition to reviewing current thinking on the topic, the research conducted also looks at how architects, artists, and designers, particularly of the late 20th century, responded to notions of fragmentation and disconnectedness often spawned by modernization. Through precedent analysis, a strong relationship between architectural design and installation art emerges.  This thesis paper provides a foundation for a gallery installation that creates an experience for visitors, challenging their relationship to interior space.

This biographical account of her Turkish boudoir at Bellevue examines its implications of personal and private life, class and gender, and the role of exoticism in eighteenth-century architectural interiors.  Analysis of the boudoir and its contents reflect much about its unusual mistress and the unique period of the mid-eighteenth century, as all are likened to the metaphor of existing in a liminal space “between worlds.”
Action through Aesthetics: Philanthropic Art Initiatives in South Africa during the Apartheid
Creators: name: Crabb, Callie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: South African artists played an expansive philanthropic role throughout the stages of the apartheid movement. Their artwork ranged from reflective to pro-active and reconciliatory. Although many scholars argue that South African artists were agents of social change, scholars have not drawn a connection between South African art history and philanthropy. Philanthropy is a platform from which artists can serve as catalysts within society. This thesis argues that South African artists acted philanthropically through their work to challenge the destructive social mores enforced by apartheid.

Considering the Function of Humanistic Imagery within the Court of Pope Julius II: The Stanza della Segnatura
Creators: name: Gillespie, Jessica
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this essay is to examine the relationship between Christian and humanistic themes within the four large frescoes that Raphael painted in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace. Through this examination I plan to demonstrate how the interrelation of these two seemingly contradictory themes was critical for the political aims and papal identity of the patron, Pope Julius II. I will argue that Julius commissioned the decoration of the stanza as a means of asserting his papal authority and presenting an identification of himself as the new Julius Caesar who ushered in a new Roman Golden Age. I will discuss the composition and iconography of the frescoes, the life of Pope Julius II, and Roman humanism in the Early Modern Period, in an attempt to prove that the representation and collaboration of the themes of humanism and Christianity were essential to Julius’s political strategies and identity-formation.

description: Curvilinear structures are present in various fields in image processing such as blood vessels in medical imaging or roads in remote sensing. Their detection is crucial for many applications. In this article, we propose an unsupervised plug-and-play framework for the segmentation of curvilinear structures that focuses on the preservation of their connectivity. This framework includes an algorithm for generating realistic pairs of connected/disconnected curvilinear structures and a reconnecting regularization operator that can be learned from a synthetic dataset. Once learned, this regularization operator can be plugged into a variational segmentation scheme and used to segment curvilinear structure images without requiring annotations. We demonstrate the interest of our approach on the segmentation of vascular images both in 2D and 3D and compare its results with classic unsupervised and deep learning-based approach. Comparative evaluations against unsupervised classic and deep learning-based methods highlight the superior performance of our approach, showcasing remarkable improvements in preserving the connectivity of curvilinear structures (approximately 90% in 2D and 70% in 3D). We finally showcase the good generalizability behavior of our approach on two different applications : road cracks and porcine corneal cells segmentations.

Therapeutic Insights into Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Synthory AI
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This systematic review, synthesized using the Synthory.AI service, explores hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) with a focus on inflammation, oxidative stress, and therapeutic interventions. Following PRISMA guidelines, 18 articles were analyzed, highlighting the roles of hepatic macrophages, cytokines, and natural compounds. Key findings underscore Nogo-B and HO-1 as potential therapeutic targets and demonstrate the efficacy of interventions targeting TNF-α, IL-6, and reactive oxygen species in reducing inflammation and enhancing liver function. Despite promising insights, limitations such as reliance on animal models and small sample sizes restrict the generalizability of results. Future research should focus on larger, diverse cohorts and integrative approaches to improve translational potential and develop effective clinical therapies.

description: The Meta-AI Analysis cross-validates six AI models (ChatGPT, Grok 3, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Copilot) to investigate Big Pharma’s profit motives and Google’s YMYL guidelines in health information control. Triggered by Gemini’s statements (January 31 and March 5, 2025), it reveals: Big Pharma prioritizes profit over cures, Google suppresses alternative healing methods as a gatekeeper, and AI biases amplify this system. OpenAI’s censorship of critical sections – e.g., ‘manipulation’ and ‘2–4 million preventable deaths’ – highlights pervasive control. Original conversations are linked as primary evidence, with video backups on Odysee (https://odysee.com/The-Meta-AI-Analysis:4) and Brighteon (https://www.brighteon.com/51417fb7-6a99-42ce-ac4d-8de8f2c22c72). This method offers unfiltered insights into these power structures, demanding transparency in AI and health policy.
State-of-the-Art Fails in the Art of Damage Detection

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Accurately detecting and classifying damage in analogue media such as paintings, photographs, textiles, mosaics, and frescoes is essential for cultural heritage preservation. While machine learning models excel in correcting global degradation if the damage operator is known a priori, we show that they fail to predict where the damage is even after supervised training; thus, reliable damage detection remains a challenge. We introduce DamBench, a dataset for damage detection in diverse analogue media, with over 11,000 annotations covering 15 damage types across various subjects and media. We evaluate CNN, Transformer, and text-guided diffusion segmentation models, revealing their limitations in generalising across media types.
Recent Works
Creators: name: Boatright, Andrew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Recent Works chronicles and fleshes out the processes, formations, iterations, and manifestations that resulted in the creation of the thesis exhibition of the same name. This thesis is an examination of the underlying scaffolding that structures my current art process. The defense I give examines the work and its relationship to the body. Through focusing on the body of the viewer, my work aims at approaching the body directly by functioning aesthetically. By functioning this way the body becomes the site for meaning making. The individual works in Recent Works evoke associations with bodily forms and fluids; the substance of which we exist in the world. These forms are abstractions of the body and constructed from unorthodox materials, existing in various states of completion. This provisional nature of the work is a comment on the contingency of our finite existence in the world. The gallery is also discusses as a vehicle for a heightened experience of the work in which I describe as religious in nature.
Allegories of Temporal Experience: The Late Work of Frederic Leighton
Creators: name: Leonard, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The late paintings of Victorian artist Frederic Leighton generally embody an abstract idea or concept instead of a specific story or moral.  Many of these images express humanity's experience of the passage of time as it relates to life, death, and rebirth.  Leighton's paintings The Garden of the Hesperides, Lachrymae, and Flaming June represent allegories of timelessness, death, and regeneration, respectively.
Advancements in Immunofluorescence Spatial Analysis for Companion Diagnostics
Creators: name: Synthory AI
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This systematic review, synthesized using the Synthory.AI service, explores recent innovations in immunofluorescence spatial analysis with a focus on companion diagnostic applications. Following PRISMA guidelines, the review included primary research studies from PubMed and PubMed Central™ published from January 2019 to September 2024. Out of 92 initial records, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate significant improvements in biomarker detection and patient stratification within immuno-oncology, driven by multiplexed platforms offering enhanced sensitivity and specificity. Despite these advancements,  challenges such as small sample sizes and methodological biases persist, necessitating larger, multi-institutional studies and standardized approaches. Future research should focus on refining biomarker discovery by stratifying cohorts based on treatment regimens and advancing imaging technologies to enhance spatial profiling accuracy. These efforts will enhance the clinical utility of immunofluorescence spatial techniques in oncology diagnostics.
From Autonomy to Collaboration: A Creative Process
Creators: name: Johnson, James
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this auto-ethnographic and art-based study is to examine how the experiences throughout my life have influenced my practice as an artist. It is within the context of a socially constructed past and present place that I will explore my own process in terms of collaboration and the implications for an artist-teacher, or teaching artist. I reflect upon how my values and philosophy as an art educator have been formed from the synthesis of my experiences. My relationships with a gallery, its clients, and a fellow artist provide the context for reflecting about my process and gaining insights into my potential role as a model and influence on my future students.
Plot and Escape
Creators: name: Benjamin, Paul
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: According to Aristotle, plot is the means by which a story is told or unfolds. In my plot, I have revised the narrative regarding the artist of color. The “native informant” dies because there is no longer a need for him to exist. The artist of color escapes from the narrowly defined constraints of how his work can be viewed and understood. His work is considered for its accomplishments (or failures) technically, aesthetically, and conceptually.
Exploring the role of an unsanctioned, supervised peer driven injection facility in reducing HIV and hepatitis C infections in people that require assistance during injection
Creators: name: Jozaghi, Ehsan
name: Vancouver Area Network Of Drug Users
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Supervised consumption rooms or supervised injection facilities (SIFs) are venues that have reduced the risk of needle sharing and deaths caused by drug overdose among people who inject drugs (PWID). As a result of such a decline in the mortality rate, numerous studies have been able to illustrate its cost-effectiveness. However, studies have neglected to examine the same phenomena for unsanctioned SIFs that are run by peer drug users and provide assisted injections. Methods: The current study will determine whether the former unsanctioned SIF, that provided assisted injection and was operated by the grass root organization called Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU), cost less than the health care consequences of not having such a program in Vancouver, Canada. By analyzing data gathered in 2013, this paper relies on two mathematical models to estimate the number of new HIV and HCV infections prevented by the former unsanctioned facility in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Results: A conservative estimate indicates that the SIF location that provided assisted injections has a benefit-cost ratio of 33.1:1 due to its low operational cost. At the baseline sharing rate, the facility, on an average, reduced 81 HCV and 30 HIV cases among PWID each year. Such reductions in blood borne infections among PWID resulted in annual savings worth CAN$4.3 million dollars in health care expenditure. In addition to this, the current paper relies on a sensitivity analysis based on different needle sharing rate scenarios. Conclusions: The sensitivity analysis and the baseline rates indicate that funding SIF facilities operated by peer drug users that facilitate assisted injection appear to be an efficient and effective use of financial resources in the public health domain since they lead to a significant decline in the rate of mortality within a vulnerable population.

You Define Me
Creators: name: Klein, Nicole
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The work I created in conjunction with this paper is a representation of myself and my family, both individually and as a unit.  The work was spawned by a search for my identity at my current age of 25.  The outcome is an installation of photographs that focus on my heritage and family work ethic and a series of altar-like tables highlighting the personalities of my grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, and sister when they were experiencing life at my stage.  I believe that this work culminates in defining me.  Every element, every individual, reflects a part of myself in the people I love.  The following paper explores the elements that come into play in the creation of this work.
