Photography Excellence
Kaitlyn Infanger
“A Primer for the Small Weird Loves”
“For this piece, I decided to cover my model in inverted pink triangles and photograph him under water to "look within" the ceaseless persecution that is constantly faced by the LGBT community in a way that also incorporated the symbol of water that is so prevalent in gay media. To me, pink triangles represent strength, they were used in concentration camps to identify and dehumanize gay men, though it was later reclaimed as a symbol of pride, which was especially prominent during the AIDS crisis."

"Self Growth"
"Even through all the pain an individual has gone through (thorns), they are still triumphant at the end, and progress to become a better version of themselves than they had been before (rosebud blossoming into full rose). It is true everyone looks the same on the inside (skeleton / skull), yet relatively few people have the ability to awaken their "third eye" to look within themselves to see how much they've grown and to look at what they can do to further improve."

Lydia Whitman Grade 11
"Reaching Towards Futures Unknown"
In a world so often faced with opposition, I tend to see the future as a daunting thought. I forget that even in times of adversity we can choose to make the world better. Our choices can create a better future. If we take a moment to peer into the unknown, however scary and formidable that may seem, we may surprise ourselves with a great future that really is within reach. My artwork, shows this through a metaphor of an astronaut reaching towards the vast, unknown space. Although it was frightening, we traveled to space and its beauty and rewards are never ending.

ART AWARD of EXCELLENCE
Amadeo Trevino Angelone
Grade 11
"Despair"
My origins are deeply rooted with stress. I have always had difficulties managing how I react to little anxieties. I have recently developed a stress condition, Gilbert's Disease, has serious effects on my health. Last year, I missed two months of school. This piece was my first attempt to show everyone my inner turmoil. The skin-tight suit, chains, and dark purple background are to convey the feeling of being trapped, suffocated by life itself. The small feet and hands on the figure convey that the person can not run away or has the strength to free himself.
