NEVER ENDINGS
BFA THESIS / 2025
‘Never Endings’ is the 10 Year Anniversary Exhibition celebrating the career of singer, pop star, and artist Ivy Elizabeth. Rocketing to stardom at the age of 15 took its toll on Ivy, but after a few crazy years she found her footing and began to truly develop her own artistic identity. Titling each of her past 8 albums after hyper-specific emotions representative of some of her most exhilarating life experiences, this exhibition marks the start of a brand new Ivy.
Through this project, I have researched complex emotions and multidisciplinary art as a tool to represent them. Very early in life do we learn how to visually depict and evoke simple emotions such as happiness, sadness, and fear. My goal was to discover words that described much more complex emotions and find ways to accurately represent them, combining strategies from various simple emotions.
