The Flower
Arjun G. This photo is of a flower in my backyard. I had noticed it looked rather nice as the time of day provided good lighting. The log in the background was also already present. All I had to do was capture the moment with my camera

Past… Present… Future…
Landon S. Class of 2026 I explored how artists from different eras — Leon Bakst (pre-1950) and Alexandre de Betak (modern-day) — have shaped my identity as an artist and the kind of artist I dream of becoming in the future. Bakst taught me to be bold with color, texture, and scale. Betak taught me…

Atmospheric Pressure
Aron M. Class of 2026 These are two songs that I am really proud to be the creator of due to their complexity and overall sound. I think they replicate my style really well as a producer of hip-hop/trap beats, and serve as inspiration for future compositions. The first step I always take is creating the…

A Black and White Issue
Caleb G. God Damn, is all that you have to say When the hating of another’s race Is oh such commonplace ‘cause we ain’t the lucky few With silver spoons and a gold balloon. Our blood’s our own And it sells for sixty cents on the dollar. In the Land of the Free Justice is a game.…

Cool
Julia S. Expanding out of my comfort zone through artistic media, I decided to take a technological route and try expressing my written work through the text messages of two teenage characters. Immerse yourself in the drama that is about to unfold in cool.

Villainous Hero
Julia S. Although I wrote this two years ago during my Creative Writing elective, this jump started my enthusiasm for writing and rekindled a passion I thought I had lost. This story was a thrill to write, and I’ve been told it’s also a thrill to read, depicting the actions of a morally righteous person…

Untitled
Julia S. While experimenting with the wonders of digital art, I was able to incorporate a curiosity for Greek Mythology into my art, featuring Medusa. I ask the viewer to think of her as not the monster of her story, but rather as the victim, because that is what she was.

Fruit
Julia S. Class of 2025 I enjoyed the process of meshing bright colors and techniques into this piece, and I hope it is just as much fun to look at as it was to make.

Untitled
Julia S. Class of 2025 As a senior, I got to immerse myself in the process of creative bladesmithing, which led me to forging metal. This photo not only captures the beginning of my process, but it also represents the strength and will it takes to change the shape of something that is seen as unbendable.…

Into The Soul
Forest G. Dark-eyed juncos, quite a common species in the North-East during the winter months, often get overlooked. I hoped to capture a moment where it showed their uniqueness and character. The line created by this junco’s belly across the snowbank’s silhouette emphasizes just that: the playfulness and intrigue these birds can have.

I Remember
Charles T. When I write, I try to make sure that every motif I include contributes to the story. My stories are meant to provoke thoughts and questions rather than answers. In doing this, I allow readers to think theoretically and symbolically as they progress through my pieces. In short, I always strive to have…

Her Series
Julia S. The neighbors kept on stopping by to say their condolences for my late wife. I couldn’t let them into the house though, because I was still cleaning up her blood. My wife passed away last week. I just finished bleaching the sheets I used to strangle her. They say, the more you wear…

Mirror Series
Julia S. Class of 2025 I like to have staring contests in the mirror. My eyes strain until I watch my reflection blink. The more I stare at my reflection, the more I realize it isn’t my own. It’s smiling. “Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look,” I tell myself as a second shadow forms in…

Confidence
