Near and Far: Selected Works by Jessye Castro

Artwork by Jessye Castro – Exhibit runs from Aug 12 to Sep 23, 2023.

ARTIST BIO: 

I’m a graduate student from Texas pursuing a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of Utah while seeing the world and sharing my work.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I am intrigued by how color and line interact and how photography is able to capture and compose them in a way that expands on their beauty. Devoting to the relationship between these three elements allows for the capture of people and culture and environment in an astounding way. This collection aims to bring far places close and enrich the variation in each photo by highlighting what is familiar or what is unique about each location.
