The Hilltop Review
This piece represents abstracted flowers thriving in a wasteland. Though the flowers are difficult to make out, the viewer can still distinguish each flower through the hazy blur of a landscape.

The Light, Gauri Manohari Nk
The Light, Gauri Manohari Nk
The Hilltop Review
The Light — Signifies the simplicity behind the concept of light that many people fail to embrace and admire. This painting shows a terracotta lamp used in India from ancient times. A cotton wick burns with the help of the oil poured into the lamp to give a serene yellow light. The light from the sun, the light from a camp fire, the street lights, the light from a humble study lamp or the light from grand chandeliers; all have the same purpose. It illuminates and it enables us to see the world as it is. This simplicity and unbiased …

Road Toward Success, Muthanna Yaqoob
Road Toward Success, Muthanna Yaqoob
The Hilltop Review
Road Toward Success is an oil on canvas painting with dimensions of (3.25 x 4.33) ft. It depicts how a farmer will only see his/her fruit of success through continuous work and long endeavor. Just like the farmer here in this painting, a graduate student won't see his/her fruit of success in the form of a thesis or dissertation but only through continuous study and research, digging into science like this farmer is digging into the ground to plant the seeds of success.

Little "Sister", Raina Khatri
Little "Sister", Raina Khatri
The Hilltop Review
My mom always called our family poodle my "little sister." Last fall at the age of sixteen she had to be put down, and I was unable to get away from school to be there for her. Instead I took time from my science education PhD work to draw this tribute to her. This portrait, in marker, shows her grey hair, cataracts, and playful stance, even at the end. Life events happen during PhD work, and it is critical to find balance between honoring the past and respecting your future.
Ghost2, Matthew Klepac
Ghost2, Matthew Klepac
The Hilltop Review
I'm a ghost; unseen, unheard, untie me
Untimely demise, one word describes me
Damaged; a phantom I float over rhythm
Vanish in thin air and reappear like apparitions
I'm at the mercy of a vengeful god, a lost soul
I float alone unnoticed in this city of ghosts
Those kids all thought they knew me so I tried to fit the mold
But conformity's a fake ID and loneliness is cold
The Heroine's Journey, Catherine Bailey
The Heroine's Journey, Catherine Bailey
The Hilltop Review
My current research focuses on representations of gender in contemporary literature and visual culture, with a particular emphasis on feminist criticism. Furthermore, I am interested in the ways in which ancient mythology, fairy tales, and folklore have shaped--and continue to shape--societal ideals about normative gender behavior. While some myth critics profess the benefits of framing one's life in terms of a grand narrative--an archetypal "hero's journey"--feminist critics and queer theorists argue that these sweeping narratives can be damaging to people of all genders by forcing them into limiting social scripts. Much of my recent research has explored the question of …

The Hilltop Review
This drawing—painted on the surface of one of the interior doors located in the first floor at East Hall—shows the preoccupation of people about the uncertain future of East Campus. In one way or another, it has kept awake my sensibility toward how educational institutions can affect community not only academically, but also personally, and how people consider education as a one of the foremost elements for progress. Location: East Hall, First Floor. Original painting by unknown artist.

Re-Visioning White Nudes: Race And Sexual Discourse In Ottoman Harems 1700-1900, Jennifer M. Black
Re-Visioning White Nudes: Race And Sexual Discourse In Ottoman Harems 1700-1900, Jennifer M. Black
The Hilltop Review
As a viable social actor, art constitutes one of many institutions participating in the creation and reification of ideologies constructed within our society. Investigating the work of Ingres, Gérôme, and others reveals striking connections between the ritual use of Europeanized women in Orientalist harem paintings and the perpetual nature of women’s social oppression. A close examination of prominent works provokes the question “why paint recognizably white women against such non-white Eastern backdrops?” Continually, visual hierarchies and prescriptive codes allow the virtual entrance of the male voyeur into the painting.
