As You Are: Moments in Time - Student Art Show

As you Are: Moments in Time is a collection of artwork presented by Danbury High School senior artists Kaylan Alexander and Samuel Ramirez. This exhibition explores how are personalities, morals, and sense of self are shaped by the person we encounter – each leaving an imprint on our evolving identities. No one is an original work of art; we begin as blank canvases, gradually becoming collages of those who came before us.

Through this curated collection, Kaylan and Samuel express their feelings of amalgamation, capturing the fluid and ever-unfolding nature of identity. As long as we live, grow, and connect with others, we will never be a complete portrait but rather a world of influences, experiences, and stories woven into one body and mind.

Reception held at April 5th, 2025 from 5 – 7pm.

On display from April 5th through April 20th.
