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, Mengyu Yu<\/b>!<\/p>\n
Mengyu<\/b> is a Senior Stats. & Predictive Analysis Major, with minors in 2D-Media Studies, Computer Science, and Math, from Kaifeng, China!<\/p>\n
She came to Miami for the atmosphere and beautiful campus. At Miami, Mengyu<\/b> is a part of the International Student Organization. She enjoys painting, reading, and playing tennis. Her favorite genre of art is Realism Painting, and her dream job is to work as a data scientist.<\/p>\n
The Student Response Exhibition asked students to think beyond physical limits with the concept of a box. For Mengyu\u2019s<\/b> piece, titled Homes<\/i>, she states,<\/p>\n
“This piece is composed of two images I took: one is the place I am living now in Oxford, while the other one is a famous scene from the city of Kaifeng, which is my home city. I put the picture of Kaifeng inside a box in the middle of the other picture to show how my journey from one country to another is my own out-of-the-box process. The experience in this process is priceless, which is why I documented the two cities in this order.”<\/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.<\/p>\n
