BFA Thesis Exhibition: Fragments

Indiana University Southeast Unveils the 2025 BFA Senior Thesis Exhibition: “Fragments”

New Albany, IN – Indiana University Southeast (IUS) warmly invites the community to explore the dynamic and deeply personal 2025 BFA Senior Thesis Exhibition, “Fragments.” Opening April 17, 2025, this exhibition marks a transformative chapter for the university’s graduating fine arts students, offering an intimate glimpse into their creative evolution.

“Fragments” is a mosaic of diverse artistic visions, capturing the unique narratives of four talented artists: Jessica Hartman, Hailey Pereyra, Rachel Rhodes, and Meghan Sanjay. Through an eclectic range of mediums, from striking paintings and intricate sculptures to thought-provoking drawings, and much more. These emerging artists push the limits of their craft, inviting audiences to connect with both the art and the stories behind it.

The exhibition is a reflection of the artists’ journeys, with each work representing a piece of a larger narrative—one shaped by personal memories, emotions, and experiences. It is an opportunity to explore how fragmented moments, thoughts, and expressions come together to form something greater, a powerful testament to the individual and collective power of art.
