Zara writes:<\/p>\n<p><em>My body of work <\/em><em>explores the significance of memory through a collage of photographs reflecting people\u2019s lives. I incorporated water in my work, partially for visual purposes, but also for my personal connection to it. I have found the process of traversing through time and experiences by viewing captured memories, nostalgic and reflective, deepening my emotional connection to my work. I drew inspiration from the Greek mythological tale of Mnemosyne, the Goddess of memory, whose pool in the underworld is drunk to forget past lives. I also gained inspiration from Marian Abboud\u2019s performance installation, which interacts with the theory that water molecules can possess memory and considers how water is an integral feature of human life. As my friends and family observe their presence in the assemblage of photographs, I intend for them to recognise the impact of memorable experiences upon their lives and my own. Likewise, as other audience\u2019s view my work, I hope they too garner an appreciation for the contribution of their &#8220;patchwork&#8221; of memories to their own identity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Art Department invite you to join our cocurricular program for Semester 2. <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This semester we will begin by running our classes online.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5187 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/drawing-class.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Drawing Class\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/drawing-class-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Drawing Class<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/eliza-gosse.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Eliza Gosse\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/eliza-gosse-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Eliza Gosse<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/darkroom-photography.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Drawing Class\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/darkroom-photography-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Drawing Class<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>We offer Darkroom Photography, Observational Drawing and a Painting course.
