Our fifth Student Response Exhibition, Outside the Box<\/i>, is open, and you can come check out the unique creations of 34 students (and vote for your favorite)!<\/p>\n
This is our next post in a series featuring the student artists who have created one or more pieces displayed in Outside the Box<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Meet our featured artist, G M Akand Sabik<\/b>!<\/p>\n
Sabik<\/b> is a Senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, from Dhaka, Bangladesh! This is his third time participating in a Student Response Exhibition, with works previously seen in the exhibitions Conflict & Resolution<\/i> and Creativity + Innovation<\/i>.<\/p>\n
He came to Miami for the ideal school size and liberal arts education. At Miami, Sabik<\/b> is a member of the Miami Student.<\/i> He enjoys traveling, drinking coffee, and visiting art museums, and his favorite genre of art is Impressionism and Pop Culture. His dream job would be to work as a Product Designer!<\/p>\n
The Student Response Exhibition asked students to think beyond physical limits with the concept of a box. For Sabik\u2019s<\/b> photo, titled Void<\/i>, he states,<\/p>\n
\u201cHistory stands testament to how transparency affects the perception of objects and events, and this is an homage to that very notion. This photograph was taken at a temple in Nepal, surrounded by eerie windows that collected donations. To an outsider, for all they know this is a con. For the inquisitive, a high religious investment would be required to be convinced otherwise. What is key to understand here is that faith is not always transparent and might even feel a bit boxed in, but the inclination to conceive this as a con is also a box itself.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Come see the exhibition and vote for your top three favorites! Voting will continue until April 6 and the exhibition celebration and awards ceremony<\/a> will be held on April 9, from 7-9 p.m.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
