The subject of focus revolves around Robert Mapplethorpe. A New York-born and raised artist, pivotal to the world of photography. At the peak of his career, after having had many of his works publicly, his creative career was cut short due to his tragic death in 1989 from AIDS. Apart from photography, Mapplethorpe experimented with many other mediums that would be representative of the journey to his creative career and self-identity. Mapplethorpe had a way of expressing so much through something seemingly so simple as a photograph. This project aims to explore the tension between himself and the world expressed through his creative outlet, hence words that weren\u2019t enough but were never spoken, but rather expressed visually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19070,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19068","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSarah Abeykoon - Parsons Notes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/student-work\/sarah-abeykoon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sarah Abeykoon - Parsons Notes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The subject of focus revolves around Robert Mapplethorpe.
