Shidanshidy took inspiration from the confusion of the city, and used that as inspiration for each photo. He was featured in a couple of other student shows at Pierce as well.

The gallery was complimented with live grass in the entrance and a wire fence in the center held up by gravel, representing the joining of concrete and grass that the project is using as its catch phrase.

”I enjoyed the way the exhibition class came up with the idea of the urban side and how they designed the gallery,” Shidanshidy said.

Fernando Garrido, a photography student, was one of the many attendees during the opening night of the exhibit. He was impressed with the shots, saying that it matched the feel of the Valley well.

“It’s interesting to see other students’ work,” Garrido said.

The gallery is a great resource for students to get their names out and their art displayed, but it also allows them to get immersed in the art world and apply and practice their techniques.

“I really like that we have a program like this. It’s great to be in a class where you’re working with your hands more than you’re listening to lectures,” said Anabelle Bonebrake, a 19-year-old art major and exhibition designer. “Getting the hands on experience is a lot different than reading about it.”

The show is free and open to the public, allowing the community to come in and see the potential of our students and where they are going. The photographers, architects and design students alike are able to express themselves through the installation.

The exhibit will continue until Dec. 11, running throughout the week for varying times in the Art Gallery, Room 3301.
