World of Emotions

Catia and Jasmine met at De Montfort University where they both study Fine Art. At the beginning of their third year of study they decided to organise an exhibition to compensate for the lost opportunities for professional practise during the pandemic. The theme of Emotion for the exhibition came about through reflecting on how they and other creatives can share different perspectives in their worlds

“We wanted our peers as well as ourselves, to express and remember the great and terrible feelings we have faced through our eyes”.
for their debut exhibition outside of academia.

The two curators wanted to challenge themselves by organising an exhibition outside of the university environment. With guidance from their lecturers the two curators visited many galleries in the local area and finally selected Atkins Gallery

This is the Pandemic explores people's experience during the Coronavirus pandemic and aims to build a connection with the viewer. This project began with gathering information by using questionnaires to understand how people felt during the pandemic and the results showed very similar emotions and experiences. The work aims to bring people together and make them feel like they were not the only ones experiencing the emotions they did during the pandemic.

My work explores the relationship we've created with emotions and the weather, and the it plays with the idea that emotions are not straight forward.

The work entitled Emerging is one small part of me that I hope in some way will connect to you, a visual communication that is forming a narrative that one day will be part of something much bigger.

Family at play has been created by merging photography and painting. This work captures the loving and playful relationship between the children and the adult in the painting and also emanates action and movement.

Walking is an action we all take, in our journeys sometimes we forget to really look and i decided to look closer. I walked from my university to my own home and vice versa uncovering my own surroundings. I used my own recycling, scrap and material found along the way. I am drawn to using material that is forgotten to remind myself and my audience anything can be seen again

Confused town started its process using photography and collage, which then progressed to an etching print using aquatint which gives it the shading.

My current study in the arts is using forms of illustration, poetry and writing as an emotional outlet to project my gender dysphoria. A lot of my influence comes from the distortion of the body and explicit content that highlight sex, gender and self hatred.

This piece is blossoming into new shaped and forms. It's the start of something new. I believe that looking forward to the good can make you happy and has a positive impact. look at this and smile

The concept of this performance piece is to address the political correctness which we are surrounded by concerning different spaces, objects and people in modern society. We are people in a space that can become objects depending on our surroundings. the idea behind constrained comes from being expected to behave a certain way in social/cultural environments. We're constrained by our surroundings.

Twined explores the connections between emotions and how varied feelings twist together, forming individual experiences.
