Faulkner & The Demon In A Bottle, Ernesto Gomez Apr 2023

Faulkner & The Demon In A Bottle, Ernesto Gomez

2023 Student Academic Showcase

My story is one about the dangers of mankind in its relentless pursuit of knowledge and asks questions regarding how much is one willing to sacrifice all for the sake of being superior to those around him, and rising above what society expected one to stay as or become. This short story of my own creation was made through my own effort and tempered by the criticism of those around me, truly befitting of a story that examines the nature of knowledge and what we are willing to do in order to grasp it.

Splinters, El Jayne Apr 2023

Splinters, El Jayne

2023 Student Academic Showcase

Splinters is a piece of creative fiction that explores how love is communicated through art. A young man shares the art of wood carving with his grandfather who taught him, and, as his grandfather’s health begins to fail, he uses it to return that love to him. Through the eyes of this narrator, we are taken on a journey of love and loss between generations, and come to understand that the simplest of things often hold the greatest weight. Though fiction, this work is heavily inspired by my own relationship with my grandmother and the art we share with one …

The Wonderful World Of Xtc, Pranav R. Police, Xtc 1993

The piece exemplifies my unique drum patterns and melodies as well as precise mixing quality. 'The Wonderful World of XTC' represents my early and disparate work, later serving as the foundation for my subsequent creations."

Untitled, Elisha Mendoza Apr 2023

Untitled, Elisha Mendoza

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This piece was one of the photographs I took for my photography final. My final was divided into three themes, one of which is called 'Lost.' The yarn is supposed to represent one being stuck and tangled in a dark place and period in their life, hence the black background."

Burn & Ashes, Maya S. Leshaw Apr 2023

Burn & Ashes, Maya S. Leshaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"Many of my paintings are me challenging myself with different mediums. Much like my other paintings, this piece focused on trying something I hadn't seen before. In many ways, the process was both trial and error. This painting, 'Burn & Ashes,' was an experiment. It focused on breaking the boundaries of fire and paper."

Cutting Ties, Jenna M. Handal Miss Apr 2023

Cutting Ties, Jenna M. Handal Miss

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"'Cutting Ties' is about escaping the feelings of comfort and security cultivated in an unhealthy situation. Being held captive by this dark place, some grow accustomed to the suffering and prefer to stay 'in the woods.' The challenge is finding the voice and the means in oneself to fight the battle for mental freedom."

In A Nutshell, Marieann C. Raguso Apr 2023

In A Nutshell, Marieann C. Raguso

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"As a woman veteran who was exposed to combat, death, violence, sexual assault, and other traumas during my time in service and after service with the VA, I felt I had something to say but had no idea where to begin. Upon attending college, I began to take poetry courses and fell in love with the art form. Not only that, but poetry allows me to be resilient against these traumatic, sometimes intrusive stressors and functions as a positive coping mechanism. So when I write, I write with my emotional intensity and always in my distinct voice."

Divinity, Aysia Stephens Apr 2023

Divinity, Aysia Stephens

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"I often hear of growing youth losing faith in religion due to how it was traumatically shown to them growing up, whether the adults realized it or not. I wanted to write a piece showing that despite the honest intentions, words and actions are shown differently through a child's eye."

Fort Lauderdale Nights, Shweta Shah Apr 2023

Fort Lauderdale Nights, Shweta Shah

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This photograph was inspired by a night on the beach and seeing the beautiful city light up. There was a unique sensation brought by hearing the peaceful waves crash on side and the busy city on the other. It represents a certain dynamic of my life, in between the hustle and peace. Finding beauty in this is a reminder to find beauty in middle of life’s chaos and calm."

Man With No Face, Maya S. Lehsaw Apr 2023

Man With No Face, Maya S. Lehsaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"Like many of my portraits, this painting combines abstract and detailed elements. As you look through this piece, I've included many characters. If you look deep enough, you can see them all. This piece, like many, focuses on the hidden messages in life that are not always seen at first glance. So much of my art allows for interpretation and for every viewer to determine what they think the meaning is."

Self Portrait, Maya S. Leshaw Apr 2023

Self Portrait, Maya S. Leshaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This piece was my final project for Painting I. Francis Bacon's work heavily inspired this piece. His work often reflected on human emotions and feelings and how humans endure such agony. My painting was much like his self-portraits; I wanted to paint the many feelings I always had. Whether it's the black ( the lows), the blues (the calm moments of serenity), the red (love or pain), or the yellow (the vast moments of happiness)s an experiment. It focused on breaking the boundaries of fire and paper."

A Journey To Joy, Bhavya Soni Apr 2023

A Journey To Joy, Bhavya Soni

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"In the past, inspiration for me usually struck after the occurrence of an obstacle or tragedy. I used my poetry to vent and organize my chaotic emotions into words on paper. But along with the lessons I gained from the adverse events, the negativity from the experience was also memorialized in the poems I wrote. 'A Journey to Joy' was the result of a realization I had while reading The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Carlton Abrams: remembering the joy and happiness in life is just as important as learning from adversity."

Fostered Fiction, Jenna M. Handal Miss Apr 2023

Fostered Fiction, Jenna M. Handal Miss

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"'Fostered Fiction' is about willful ignorance and the desire to create a false image, in order to maintain an impossible relationship. Despite no regret and the knowledge of its destructive nature and doomed fate, good moments are still remembered, and feelings of guilt linger."

Consumerism, Rosselyn Pérez Apr 2023

Consumerism, Rosselyn Pérez

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"'Consumerism' was inspired by the clouding uncertainty that it brings upon our society. The piece represents the search for who is guilty of the damage caused by consumerism and questions their unwillingness to fix it.

The Mercurial Minds Of Medicine: A Poetry Collection, Rueida Ali Apr 2023

The Mercurial Minds Of Medicine: A Poetry Collection, Rueida Ali

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"I decided to compose a poetry collection that allows one to delve into the complex thoughts of three important roles in medicine; all the poems focus on the double consciousness of either the caregiver, the doctor or the patient. The entire collection is based on emulating the narrative of Frances Burney’s 'Mastectomy,' reimagined in three different perspectives, while also emulating the forms and context of Hélène Cixous’ 'Laugh of the Medusa' and Amy Haddad’s 'Stereotactic Biopsy,' with the purpose of shedding light on a few of the many perspectives in the operation of a mastectomy."

Hands Of Influence, Nicholas Waguespack Apr 2023

Hands Of Influence, Nicholas Waguespack

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"A trace monotype layered over a regular monotype, this print explores the disappearing influence that my parents have on my life. Growing up their ideas and ideologies were forced upon me and this piece explores how I am trying to break free from these beliefs and ideas."

Minute Details, Isha H. Patel Apr 2023

Minute Details, Isha H. Patel

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"I drew this piece during a time when I was suffering depression, when all I wanted for was the pain and sadness to end. I painted this subconsciously not realizing at the time what it meant, I simply just did it. Later I realized that having gotten through my senior year, getting to participate in a medical assistant course, to do something that I want to do, something I love, I found light to keep going. That was my light in the darkness."

A Seasonal Sonnet, Antonio Miguel Escorzon Apr 2023

A Seasonal Sonnet, Antonio Miguel Escorzon

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"I created 'A Seasonal Sonnet' because of an assignment for my high school senior year British Literature where students had to formulate an original sonnet. I was ecstatic with the opportunity to create one, although I knew the difficulties in writing in the particular iambic pentameter. I started with seasons because I sought to give year-round aspects a substantial recognition. I kept the piece in a separate document when I graduated high school and became a student at NSU. When I heard about Digressions, I thought about giving myself a try in submitting my own work."

A Requiem For Those Who Rest Their Wings, Adit R. Selvaraj Apr 2023

A Requiem For Those Who Rest Their Wings, Adit R. Selvaraj

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"'A Requiem For Those Who Rest Their Wings' is a piece that emphasizes how nerve-wracking it is to leave your safe space and pursue your dreams. The author behind this piece has many dreams that require them to face their anxiety and present themselves to the world. The piece was especially inspired by the author's enjoyment of Japanese music, particularly the song 'Little Bird' by Chiaki Ishikawa."

Purple Heart, Marieann C. Raguso Apr 2023

Purple Heart, Marieann C. Raguso

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"As a combat veteran, I received a purple heart after my MRAP, armored truck, was blown up by an improvised explosive device (IED). It made me reflect on those who have come before me, and I wondered, how many women have a Purple Heart? The answer was less than 100 women have a Purple Heart, according to the Military Order of the Purple Heart in 2017. Having a Purple Heart is still a cauldron of mixed feelings for me, and I felt the urge to write about it."
