Hey guys, I am thrilled to announce that tomorrow marks the opening of my very first solo photography exhibition, Soulscape! It’s a fleeting moment, lasting just a week, but the memories and impressions will linger far longer. Don’t miss out on this unique journey!

In Soulscape, DSU’s solo photography exhibition, the art of portrait photography is reimagined as a journey into the soul, where each image serves as a window into the intricate landscapes of human essence. This collection emerges from a profound exploration conducted over a year and a half in an unfamiliar land, where encounters with diverse individuals have woven a rich mosaic of perspectives and stories.

Through the lens, DSU captures not merely faces but the myriad souls behind them, crafting a visual landscape that mirrors the complexity and beauty of the human condition. Each photograph in “Soulscape” is an invitation to gaze deeply into the authentic spirit of its subjects, offering a rare glimpse into the unguarded moments that define our shared humanity.

“When in Rome!”

This spring break the stars and planets aligned well enough for me and my friends to grace beautiful Toronto with our presence! From Kensington Market to Cabbagetown, we probably supplied the Canadian economy with enough money to last them till next spring break. Although we didn’t get to climb atop the fabled CN tower, we found many things to love about this Great White Northern city.

Because of so many of the amazing sights we got to see, it was a little hard to pick out my absolute favorite small things of this week. Overall, letting the tide of the city sway our adventures most likely encapsulates the most fulfilling parts of this trip. This week reminded me that even 45 minute long train rides squished between groups of commuters and students alike can be made meaningful with the right people beside you. Even if you stayed at home (whether that be Ann Arbor or beyond) or went to even more captivating places around the world, I hope you were able to spend beautiful quality time with those you love.

To take into our next week:

Ins: Taking pictures even if its obvious that you’re a moony-eyed tourist, carrying a water bottle everywhere, taking notes in tiny notebooks, jeans, public transportation!

Outs: Not listening to your body when you need a break, overpacking, sleeping through 5 different alarms every morning, forgetting to put in earrings, not tying your shoelaces.

Good luck to everyone with tests, critiques, midterms, projects, and everything in between! We are almost to the finish line <3
