Sarah Cabbell MFA Visual Studies Thesis 2019

Where An End Meets The Beginning

Where An End Meets The Beginning explores the reclamation of personhood after growing under the influence of abusive relationships. The self-portrait video works test the limits of the physical body by unconventionally interacting with symbolic totems from childhood through puberty and up to present day, all while placing the videos in a non-logical environment to reference. The videos convey child like curiosity, utilizing the concept of the abject, questioning of the conventions of beauty, all to create a personal standards of success and beauty.
