Come to the Windows Lounge on our 3rd floor Plaza level of Palmer to see Rachel Deveyra's art exhibition. It will be up from November 1 - 18, 2022. Below is an artist statement from Rachel.
This body of work is a reflection of my childhood experiences. Each one of these pieces represents how beauty standards have impacted my life. Through this reflection, I have not only accepted myself as I am now but also my third grade self who felt bad about herself. Merely acknowledging the existence of these standards and processing my memories through my art has been therapeutic and has served as a healthy reminder that beauty should be perceived broadly and inclusively. Hopefully, my art encourages others to be more accepting of themselves as well as each other’s differences.
