Using the tools of stop-motion animation, sculpture, sound, and a simple mirror, I created an installation that plays off of our human perception of space. The gallery is home to an undulating otherworldly landscape that exists on the ceiling, designed to be viewed by looking down into a hand-held mirror. This creates the sensation that one is walking on this unusual ceiling. Embedded in this landscape are contained oases that present windows into animated worlds and bodies of water. This gently unsettling and surreal environment is intended to create a site of curiosity, exploration, and heightened awareness of the workings of one's own body; to study the ways that information is transferred across perceived time and space; to meditate on the futility and humanity of our striving to conceive of things we can't fully comprehend. 2012-08-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/93178 METamphorae: from emotion to metaphor from sentiment to symbol Gibriel, Reem MetAmphorae chronicles the evolution of MetAmphorae, and Personae, the two installations inspired by the war on Gaza (2008-2009), which served as my thesis show(s), along with an earlier installation which was a precursor to both. I will present the research I conducted to arrive at the appropriate forms for these installations, and the history of my intuitions in conceiving and making them. Inspired by emotionally impacting political circumstances, the art projects discussed in this thesis investigate my attempt to harness emotion into metaphor, and to reshape personal sentiment into universal symbol. 2010-12-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/92188 "Edward Yang" Nornes, Abé Mark Brief biography of director Edward Yang. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/92187 "Edward Yang" Nornes, Abé Mark Brief biography of director Edward Yang. 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z
