CJ Carter | OU MFA Thesis Exhibition 2025

Friday, April 11- Saturday, April 19

Opening April 11

In a world that rewards individualism, this exhibition personifies the different strengths required to build a community, be it with friends, chosen or biological family, a workplace, or a third place. The integration of architectural details into the figure honors the importance of place in our personal and collective identities. It highlights the duality of strength, referring to not only a building's structural stability but also our physical and mental capabilities. These strengths are unbound by gender; all of us have the power to uplift others in mutual support and it is through this noble pursuit that we embody true strength.

Opening April 11

How can childhood trauma haunt you forever? How can a monstrous environment change a life to the extent that you spend your entire life finding a way to heal yourself? It is not always you who choose your path. You are forced to live a life that was not your choice initially. You lose trust and have to deal with your fears. Everything can become scary, like a monster that moves infront of your eyes.This exhibition is a journey through trauma and resilience, and it is about how I have attempted to reclaim myself through art. It is about survival and finding a path—however uncertain—toward healing.

This exhibition investigates the fragmented body as a site of memory, labor, and transformation. Using her own form as source and subject, Jenn Peek layers materials and processes to reveal the quiet strength that endures through imperfection.
