Emergence

UAH BFA photography major Justin LaMar Ward's multimedia works explore identity and the ways that the pandemic brought isolation and subsequent introspection. Ward's narrative exhibition is a journey through reckoning, confrontation, disintegration, and eventually - growth.

His combination of photographs and digital imagery, light, and projection invites the viewer to empathize with the experience of loss, grief, and betrayal and to witness the artist’s development of a sense of balance amidst the shifting winds of the pandemic, and ultimately a discovery of interior freedom and an openness to trust and faith.

For those unable to attend the show in person, here are a few pieces from his exhibit. Photo Credit: Maleah Taylor ('22 BFA Graphic Design)
