INBODY EMBODIED: WSU MFA Thesis Exhibition interprets visual language through personal narratives that encompass and deconstruct the human figure. Carefully and uniquely crafted by each artist, the exhibition moves from abstraction to surrealism to share a conceptual framework that addresses the body as a symbol for relationships, emotions, social practices and behaviors, and cultural identities. Unseen truths and desires are characteristics represented within the exhibition to challenge the viewer and raise awareness. Each work explores personal motives, encouraging engagement and interpretation.

INBODY EMODIED features artworks by graduating WSU MFA students who practice in a variety of disciplines and approaches. Exhibiting artists include Elise Marie Martin, Tia Nichols, Cara Marie Young, and Yan Zhang.
