Empirical Study On The Correlation Between Social Media Usage And Self Esteem, Parbatti Boodhoo
Empirical Study On The Correlation Between Social Media Usage And Self Esteem, Parbatti Boodhoo
Publications and Research
Social media is a major part of everyday life for most young adults, and its effects on mental health, especially self-esteem, have become a growing area of research. Some studies have found that using platforms like Instagram or TikTok can negatively impact how people see themselves, especially when they compare their lives to others online (Magner, 2018). Others have shown that the way people use social media matters, passively scrolling may lower self-esteem, while interacting positively with others could have the opposite effect (Shashwat & Singh, 2024). On the other hand, social media can also help people feel more connected …
Youth-Driven Approaches To At-Home Dbs Hiv Monitoring: The Role Of Privacy, Clinical Trust, And Digital Tools, Cynthia Wen, Sitaji Gurung
Youth-Driven Approaches To At-Home Dbs Hiv Monitoring: The Role Of Privacy, Clinical Trust, And Digital Tools, Cynthia Wen, Sitaji Gurung
Publications and Research
Dried blood spot (DBS) biosampling offers a convenient at-home option for HIV viral load monitoring, especially for youth facing clinic access barriers. This study explored youth perspectives on DBS through semi-structured interviews (n=6) from an NIH-funded project. Key themes emerged. Youth expressed a preference for discreet access and privacy was critical. They preferred clinic-based kit pickup and return to avoid stigma. Trust in clinic-promoted kits was important, as healthcare provider endorsement increased the credibility of the kits. Digital tools supported usability and awareness, with QR codes, video tutorials, and social media playing a significant role. Additional insights included the need …
Automation Of Javanese Shadow Puppets Using Machine Control, Kristian Rice, Yinson Tso, Mukhammadali Yuldoshev
Automation Of Javanese Shadow Puppets Using Machine Control, Kristian Rice, Yinson Tso, Mukhammadali Yuldoshev
Publications and Research
The virtualization of Javanese shadow puppetry (Wayang Kulit) offers a unique opportunity to preserve and revitalize traditional performance art through immersive digital platforms. This project explores the development of a virtual Wayang Kulit experience using real-time 3D engines like Unity/Unreal Engine while focusing on simulating the mechanics and aesthetics of shadow puppet performance. The puppets are designed using detailed 2D planes and rigged with skeletal systems to reflect the stylized motion of traditional puppetry. An aspect of this project is integrating an AI-driven control system that autonomously animates the puppets, learning from recorded puppeteer performances to replicate gesture, rhythm, and …

Records In Space, Anthony Torrano
Records In Space, Anthony Torrano
Theses and Dissertations
I am interested in how the process of layering has the capacity to mimic layers of history. History is a fraught concept, subject to changes with the passage of time, hierarchies in dissemination, and differing memories. Its precarity leaves some stories immortalized and some forgotten. The acts of recording, erasing, and rerecording in my work are a mediation on this liminality.

Stitch Theory, Brittany Adeline Adama King
Stitch Theory, Brittany Adeline Adama King
Theses and Dissertations
This paper weaves personal history together using “stitched” citational text, supporting the concept that an archive can function as support, as worn; as garment.
Familiarity And Distance, Marc Ferraro
Familiarity And Distance, Marc Ferraro
Theses and Dissertations
This paper places a space of ideas in conversation with a tactile reality. I propose archetypes of modernism as formal outlines and points of familiarity to a general audience. My work seeks to refigure these common formats in painting and sculpture by subjecting them to an unpredictable process of tactile manipulation. Questions of legibility are raised by asking how repeat encounters with forms of visual language shape expectations and understanding.
Woe Be Gone, Yuhan Hu
Woe Be Gone, Yuhan Hu
Theses and Dissertations
In Woe be gone, Yuhan Hu explores the porous boundaries between image, memory, perception, and material through a deeply personal and reflective multimedia practice. Drawing on influences from film, literature, and game environments, Yuhan investigates how moments—fleeting or fixed—transform when mediated through photography, digital frames, and sculptural assemblage. Anchored by a series of installations and image-based works, the thesis unpacks the poetics of poor images, the failures and promises of translation, and the emotional residue of digital and physical touch. With a tactile sensitivity to materials like wood, wax, solder, and horsehair, Yuhan contemplates impermanence, miscommunication, and care, embracing …

How Much Touch Can The Paper Withstand?, Aldrin Regina Valdez
Theses and Dissertations
Between embodiment and disembodiment, Aldrin Regina Valdez’s works on paper map histories of care, violence, and mourning, both personal and collective. They ask: how much touch can the paper withstand?
Indeed, In A Way, It's Worse., Jani C. Zubkovs
Indeed, In A Way, It's Worse., Jani C. Zubkovs
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates walking as both method and metaphor within an artistic practice grounded in photography. Through walking, I engage in a sustained act of seeing — one that resists the speed and consumption-driven logic of late capitalism and opens space for reflection, slowness, and heightened perception. My photographic work focuses on fragments of the built environment, particularly advertisements, signage, and residual human marks, reframing them through strategies of cropping, isolation, and recontextualization. These images question the distinction between original and reproduction, presence and absence, surface and depth. Drawing on thinkers such as Jonathan Crary, Luigi Ghirri, Siegfried Kracauer, and …
Card Tables Are A Dime A Dozen, Art Is Rare, Shannon Pritchard
Card Tables Are A Dime A Dozen, Art Is Rare, Shannon Pritchard
Theses and Dissertations
In this text, through the categories of truth and mimicry, discomfort, repetition, and bureaucracy, Shannon Pritchard dissects her studio practice. With a dedication to high craft, she investigates the world through the lens of the Freudian Uncanny, linking eerie subject matter to conspiracy mindset, mid-century politics, and personal relationships.
Displaced Nostalgia, Nava Derakhshani
Displaced Nostalgia, Nava Derakhshani
Theses and Dissertations
Exploring themes of identity, displacement, gender, and belonging, this paper examines the artist's work and her approach to her art. She covers the many influences that she has access to while unable to visit her ancestral homelands. Acknowledging the translation that comes from this removal, her art is in conversation with other diasporic, exiled, marginalised groups. She makes art with various materials such as clay, shadow, light, and paint, to work on the themes that she is pursuing.
Paintings And Paintings, Anna T. Gregor
Paintings And Paintings, Anna T. Gregor
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis argues for a renewed distinction between mere paintings and capital-P Paintings, contending that meaning arises through sustained, reciprocal engagement between viewer and artwork. Amid "postmodern" disorientation, it proposes a reorientation toward individual works as sites of immanent logic and shared perception, rather than relying on external narratives or historical clichés.
The Function Of Art, Magdalen O. M. Pickering
The Function Of Art, Magdalen O. M. Pickering
Theses and Dissertations
With the help of machines and the powers of perception, Magdalen Pickering introduces logic to strange and fantastical subjects. The Function of Art explores a hybrid of techniques in painting, screenprinting, and computer generated imagery as Magdalen attempts to use generative printing to obscure art historical consciousness. The installation crosses into virtual reality; reframing textiles, landscapes, and the gallery space through a metaphysical lens.
E Is For Ephemera, E Rady
E Is For Ephemera, E Rady
Theses and Dissertations
E is for Ephemera contends with an artist's role as a performer - traversing questions of identity, documentation, temporality, authority, power relations and implication of the self in response to systemic forces. Here, performances are treated as zones in which simulated scenarios sometimes offer various potential opportunities to resolve.
My Head Is This Animal, Paula De Martino
My Head Is This Animal, Paula De Martino
Theses and Dissertations
De Martino’s paper explores the dynamics of control in human interaction by discussing her relationship with animals. The author's life experiences serve to construct a narrative, but she lies. She becomes an unreliable narrator who aims to blur the threshold between art and real life throughout the performative gesture of appropriating identities. She steals from the ancient myth of Medusa through her stone sculptures (her offspring), in an egoistic attempt to excuse her fear and longing for motherhood.
Folds, Bayan Abukiwan
Folds, Bayan Abukiwan
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis uses the fold as an orienting metaphor and material gesture to linger on the minor details of intimacy that are severed by occupation and political violence. Through painting, drawing and ceramics, the work traces the more implicit modes of dehumanization—particularly in relation to Palestine—while engaging the domestic as a site of quiet and complexity. Influenced by artists like Jennifer Packer and Beatriz González, the practice embraces slowness, touch, and opacity to fold the viewer into a haptic encounter with the work.

4 In 10 Tiktok Users Find Their ‘For You’ Page Extremely Or Very Interesting, Aashish Gadani
Theses and Dissertations
Using video supercuts, sculptural forms, and digital prints on textiles in my work, I explore how images/videos can be used to reflect on cultural and personal trends. In this paper, I discuss how the structure of software recommendation systems combines with ideas of the post-internet image and creates unintended cultural consequences.

Fountain, Sadaf Azadehfar
Fountain, Sadaf Azadehfar
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates the intersections of water, power, identity, and architecture through the lens of colonial and postcolonial landscapes, focusing particularly on Persian gardens and fountain sculptures. Drawing on historical, cultural, and symbolic frameworks, the study explores how water systems embody both practical and spiritual roles, positioning water as a force of control, resistance, and regeneration. Central to this work are analyses of arches and garden designs, which serve as architectural metaphors for cosmic harmony, community gathering, and contested space. Through a combination of visual analysis, historical research, and personal artistic practice—including ceramic sculptures and multimedia installations—this thesis traces the …
The Hand Reaches Out, Martin John Miller Iv
The Hand Reaches Out, Martin John Miller Iv
Theses and Dissertations
Through a combination of narrative description and in-depth explication, I will detail the physical experience of navigating the thesis work while tying those motions directly to personal writing. My hope is that, through this installation, I can establish a framework for relating to these systems through the felt and physical, through the suggested and implied, through the appearance of the ordinary, and on through to the interruption of the absurd.
Rewriting The Frontier: The Impact Of Collective Memory On The Mythos Of Western Settlement, Kelly E. Kooper
Rewriting The Frontier: The Impact Of Collective Memory On The Mythos Of Western Settlement, Kelly E. Kooper
Theses and Dissertations
Using Paul Cohen’s methodological approach in History in Three Keys, this thesis examines the construction and debunking of the myths of manifest destiny, the rugged individual frontiersman, and the “noble savage” Native American in the writing about, experience of, and representation of the settlement American West. First, it analyzes the evolution of the historiography from Frederick Jackson Turner to William Cronon. Then it examines the experiences of four families (the Grices, Grahams, Deems, and McCormicks) who settled in Iowa and Nebraska from 1850 to 1880. Lastly, it surveys various popular cultural celebrations of the West. Through this triple lens, this …

Theses and Dissertations
Hold it Against Your Bones is a series of eight linked essays on grief, duty, and letting go. They cover the author's experience of being in the care-taking role for both her mother and her children, the journey of accompanying someone as they die, and the space that is left after care taking duties subside.

This thesis focuses on three contemporary artists—An-My Lê, Dinh Q. Lê, and Harrell Fletcher—who use photography to explore the contentious memory of the war in Vietnam. Addressing different contexts in which the war is remembered, their works invite careful reflection on how to approach the elusive past.
Raised Spirits The Visceral Journey Of Black Generational Female Trauma And The Transcendent Healing Power Of Spiritual Dance, Wendy Ann Powell
Raised Spirits The Visceral Journey Of Black Generational Female Trauma And The Transcendent Healing Power Of Spiritual Dance, Wendy Ann Powell
Theses and Dissertations
Black female bodies have endured sustained trauma globally since the transatlantic slave trade, and it continues into 2025. The collective consciousness has carried the generational burden and mobilized it within the womb. Powell uses this intergenerational knowledge to frame the basis for spiritual dance practices as a healing praxis.
Apocalypse As Utopia: The Exorcisms And Memorials Of Las Yeguas Del Apocalipsis And Queer Liberation In Chile, 1987-1997, Nicolas Poblete
Apocalypse As Utopia: The Exorcisms And Memorials Of Las Yeguas Del Apocalipsis And Queer Liberation In Chile, 1987-1997, Nicolas Poblete
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis provides a comprehensive history of the queer activist-art collective Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis (1987-1997) and their performance-based resistance to the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990), cultural homophobia, and the HIV/AIDS crisis. Through art actions blending ritual, protest, and queer poetics, the collective redefined public space and national identity, envisioning a utopian queer apocalypse rooted in memory.
The Imposition Of A Narrative Line: The Bildungsroman As Form In Contemporary Art, Brianne Chapelle
The Imposition Of A Narrative Line: The Bildungsroman As Form In Contemporary Art, Brianne Chapelle
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the work of contemporary American artists and writers Moyra Davey, Chris Kraus, Frances Stark, and Martine Syms within the context of feminist art history, theory, and practice in the post-1970s artworld. While often read as autobiographical or self-referential, their work across media uses personal narrative as a means of engaging broader theoretical and institutional concerns. Through the literary form of the bildungsroman, these artists employ narrative, fiction, and memoir—often through new and time-based media, but also through interdisciplinary modes rooted in writing—to reflect on their ongoing education as artists within an increasingly globalized Euro-American artworld. By …
