Fall 2023 Visual Culture: REPRESENT!: Misapprehended GLENY QUICK commūnicāre, 2023 Video, 1:15 Is our communication a placeholder for the deep and real? Do emojis replace personal and individualized response? Has diminished communication dulled us to the human condition – or, dulled the human condition? 38
Juror: Enrique Fernández Cervantes ANASTACIA SADEH No Way Through, 2020 Acrylic, Alcohol Ink and Venetian Plaster on Canvas, 30” x 40” x 1.5” I loved the transparency of subject matter in this exhibition- it’s a subject that correlates directly with my interests in mental health, self-awareness, and it’s effects on human connection and communication. It has become apparent to me that people tend to meet others only as deeply as they have met themselves. This individual-awareness directly affects how people communicate. When individual emotional-protection is upheld more vehemently that individual authentic-connection, communication is lost. The works below explore this. “No Way Through” explores the myriad of emotional and psychological layers that often isolate individuals from desired connection and communication. These layers visually block the viewer from the the figure as they avert their gaze. In this work, all communication is lost for the viewer and the subject. This painting juxtaposes visual references of organic matter (referencing generational influences) with rigid, grid like patterns (societal influences) in order to emphasize the complication nature of issues leading to human isolation of heart and mind. 39
