Last Friday marked the opening of Prologue; the exhibit put together by UNIS seniors taking IB Visual Arts to showcase the pieces they have created over the past two years. The whole evening, Caelum Gallery was buzzing with UNIS students, parents, and teachers taking in all the wonderful art and congratulating the seniors on their accomplishments.

While the exhibition ended on Saturday, UNISVerse has put together a small online gallery for those of you who missed it or simply can’t get enough of the work created by these seniors. We feature each artists’ favorite piece alongside a snippet of the artists in their own words, as they explain the reasoning behind their pick or provide insight into the meaning of their work.

Enjoy!

“I think it’s my favorite piece because it’s the most different one. Unlike everything else which was basically on surface, this is a sculpture that is hanging; it’s three-dimensional. And it also took a lot of time. It took me five months to complete and I revised it twice. It took a lot of emotional and physical willpower to complete but I’m really proud to exhibit it and hang it on the top— even though everyone is bumping their heads onto it. I think it's also just a cool reflection of modern art and my Kyrgyz culture.” —Aksaamai Ormonbekova
