These up-and-coming Baruch creatives have an eye for craft and clarity in their work for anyone who interacts with it.

PARIPADA RUNGSEENAPAKORN

Pari is a photographer who uses the medium of photography to communicate memories and knowledge. Through the lens of a camera, she is able to capture and share personal moments and thoughts with her audience — creating a unique collective experience shared between the perceptions of both the artist and the art consumer.

TIQUAN (TRE) EWELL

Tre is a poet and has been writing with an audience in mind since middle school. He draws upon personal experiences and emotions for inspiration and has been working with the confessional mode — an American style of poetry that emerged in the 1950s with a focus on the personal and the first person speaker — as a means of cathartic expression.

ATAISHA ATKINSON

Ataisha is a New York based poet who works towards bringing simplicity and accessibility to the genre of poetry. She began writing in middle school and has continued developing her craft to this day, creating art in rhyme about herself as well as the simple things in life. Her works tends to lean towards a direct approach, and instead of layers of convoluted meaning, Ataisha opts for a straightward speaker in her poetry that gets to the heart of the matter without much pretense. She is able to equip this simple style to illustrate colorful imagery.

JUSTIN YU

Justin is a lover of art and as a graphic design major. As a creative, he believes that creating calls for the expression of the artist without the influences of conformity, but to truly make what best represents the artist. He draws inspiration from the world around him and his piece, The Last Shall Be First, drew from an Enlightenment philosophy of how wealth does not equate happiness and from his personal religious philosophies, which works within the content of his visual piece.
