Past Exhibitions
Starting in 2022, the student projects subcommittee has been curating the second floor hallway of Hart House. Each semester we offer student artists of the university to showcase their creativity, original thinking, and ability to interpret themes chosen by us. Below you will find the archive of our past exhibitions.
2024 Fall Student Exhibition
2025 Winter Student Exhibition
Temporal Threads
​This student art exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative space where art meets the passage of time. It examines how time influences and revitalizes artistic expression, encouraging a dialogue in the in-between. By exploring temporal themes from multiple perspectives – be it through literal representations of time, or reproductions of artistic movements in history – the artists examine how time both shapes and is shaped by art.
​
Each piece in the exhibition explores time’s layered dimensions: some artworks evoke the passage of generations, through imagery and symbols hinting at the persistence of memory and cultural identity. Others depict the fragile nature of relationships or the transformative journey of healing. Some artists employ vintage aesthetics, blending past art movements such as Art Nouveau, Romanticism or Greek Sculpture with present styles. The three-dimensional artworks displayed in vitrines throughout Hart House use materials that age over time or merge traditional representations of art with new technologies, adding a tactile sense of history and continuity. Through varied media—photography, painting, woodworking, and more—these works capture both fleeting moments and lasting legacies.
​
"Temporal Threads" reflects on the dual nature of time as both a force that erodes and a power that preserves. This exhibition urges viewers to consider whether art serves as a mirror to the past or as a bridge to future generations, and how, through art, we might engage with the timeless aspects of human experience. Temporal Threads shows how time molds identity, memory, and meaning, inviting us to weave our own reflections into a collective temporal experience.

Noor Al-Sehail
Mixed media on paper. Includes: Magazine and book cutouts
This work seeks to portray the fleeting wonders of our formative years, such as the simplicity and joy of play, by providing a perspective on the serious pursuits that make up our world. Juxtaposed against joyous playground experiences, I isolate passages from the journal "The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" by Blackwood Gallery. Weaving these selections into a narrative resembling a child's viewpoint, the deliberate simplification of the text creates a subtle detachment from its serious tone and offers a different outlook on the pursuit of knowledge and meaning in our ever-changing world.
Nature's Mirror in Human Transformation
Afnan Rahman
Acrylic on Canvas
The artwork aims to show how humans and nature are alike in their transformative journeys. The world is always changing, reshaping itself, and affecting the people living in it. The earthly landscape symbolizes that transitional moment of the land breaking to meet its destiny—the water/ocean. Likewise, people go through several transitions before living in their truest form, aka their destiny. The peacock feathers at the bottom symbolize the renewing and redefining characters in humans.
Mom Where are You? It’s Scary Here.
Kodi Ume-Onyido
Acrylic on canvas
Memory acts as a frame that captures the ephemeral moments in our life. “Mom Where Are You? It’s Scary Here” encourages people to reflect on their childhood and appreciate the feelings attached to those experiences.
Backseat spectacles
Yehjeen Cha
Digital (35mm film photograph digitized)
This was taken last summer on the way to my dad’s hometown. We saw a rainbow on the highway and got very excited. This photo reminds me of all the views from the backseat of my dad’s car that I didn’t know I would want to cherish this much.
Aquatic Ephemera
Alessandra De Luca
Acrylic on canvas
In my acrylic on canvas painting Aquatic Ephemera, I strive to capture the intricate balance between fear and beauty within a singular moment. The artwork portrays a girl submerged underwater, embodying the paradoxical nature of an experience that can elicit both awe and trepidation. The underwater setting becomes a metaphorical abyss, where the moment's beauty intertwines with a sense of danger. The girl, surrounded by water, symbolizes the fragile vulnerability in exploring uncertain moments.
Submerged
Bhairavi Prasanna
Watercolour on canvas
Submerged represents the darkness one would feel when their voice isn’t heard. How the stillness of the subconscious is begging to be heard, but is met with silence. And how the pressure of not being able to talk (breath) can damage you.

The Catalyst
Victoria Lee
3 physical collages, cut and paste paper on letter size papers
"From Flavour to Taste" is a triptych that narrates the intersection of reality and imagination, inviting contemplation on the collision of historical perceptions with our post-industrial capitalist age. The set serves as a progression, initially presenting flavors—superficial, immediate, and evocative of the senses—transitioning to a nuanced appreciation of taste, symbolizing a multifaceted understanding of our relationship with abundance. The work aims to evoke a sense of connection with the impermanent yet invaluable moments that define our existence while engaging with the beauty found in life's ephemeral tapestry.
Prosper and Flourish
Natalie Wang
Ink (ball-point pen and bottled ink) on watercolour paper
In the intricate depiction of koi fish, the delicate dance of fleeting moments is embodied. The ballpoint pen's precise outlines, meticulous and defined, contrast with the shapeless daubs of ink that cascade across the fish, forming an evocative representation of life's impermanence. The interplay between precision and fluidity mirrors the ephemerality of existence. The defined and the formless coalesce to portray the transient beauty inherent in our ever-changing lives. Although the artwork is still, it invites contemplation on the paradoxical nature of impermanence. Simply picture the fish effortlessly gliding across the surface and the scene is transformed in an instant.
Charity Chariot
Mariia Charuta
Acrylic on canvas
On one hand it explores the odd beauty and decadent elegance of the chaos inherent to the human experience. It is weirdly poetic and comforting how lost we all are. On the other hand, this work, just like the rest of my portfolio, is a diary entry of sorts - an imprint of my thoughts and feelings at that point in my life.
Tea set on linen
Leon Zhang
Oil on canvas
I tried to capture the visual experience subjected to "nothingness" in Lao Tzu's terms, perhaps also in Sartre’s terms. It is a state of mind in the absence of presumptions, opinions, and meanings on objects. A moment when the mind projects nothing onto things, and the mind processes nothing it receives. For the instant I was caught in it, colors were fueled with vitality as if the world revealed its true face from the limitation of thoughts. The arrangement of still life that makes no sense in their functionality is an attempt to put the audience in my shoes.
Dear Diary
Sammi Herlich
Ink, charcoal, marker, pastel, water colour, crayon, glitter, pencil
Amy Sillman described drawing as, “A visual form of what it’s like to think." Through documenting my raw, uncut, unedited emotions when they occurred and how they changed throughout the day, week and month, I delved into what it means to carry on a continual present. The colours, mediums and methods used were chosen instinctively based on what my body gravitated towards in a given moment; sometimes using objects surrounding me like a feather, bottle cap or my own body to make marks that reflected my feelings.
Transient Layers
Julia Collett
Graphite, ink pens and coloured pencils on paper
This artwork portrays the transformation and decomposition of a grapefruit from multiple perspectives. It captures the impermanent quality of organic matter and its susceptibility to being permanently altered. Further, this drawing depicts the fleeting moment of interaction between the object and a person, showing the changes of a grapefruit as it takes on new forms, textures and shapes through the process of being peeled, pulled apart, or juiced.

When Stars Bloom
Yang Yu
Acrylic marker pen on cardboard
I think, therefore I am. Thoughts are like the universe, with undetectable breadth and depth. When surging, they may be as gentle as waves, or splash like tsunamis, reflecting the shimmering starlight. At some moments, thoughts carry inexplicable power, like stars blooming, like shooting stars passing by. That is the ephemeral reverie falling around, coloring me from flat in black and white. That is the transient beauty encapsulated in the brain, making me an independent spiritual being without relying on physical media.

Are We There Yet?
Emily Sun
Colored pencils on paper
Trains tell fascinating stories—strangers sharing a brief journey, yet shadows to one another’s voyage.
Growing up, I have called more than enough abodes my “home” that the word became mere waypoints in my life. My family’s roots, too, are a blur. The heightened tales feel distant and strange, for our history is reduced to nothing but groans of what it could have been. The heroes in our story linger in my veins as mere shadows on that same restless train. But there is one story I can tell that is steadfast: the one where my Good Shepherd takes me home.
Sabbath Worship
Martha Burchert 
Acrylic on canvas 
"Sabbath Worship" illustrates a joyful gathering of 5 individuals for worship, singing hymns, strumming a guitar, and a tranquil rest to welcome the Sabbath. This scene portrays the connection of community and religion to one's personal history. 
祖祖 ('Great Grandma')
Emily Xiong
Acrylic on canvas
I held Zuzu’s hands as she told me stories of how she fell in love with Great Grandpa and how they survived the war. She would smile and gently pet my dad’s face like a child, despite his prickly beard, then ask me to take her for a walk. Those hands—shaped by time, hardship, and joy—have done so much and given so much, offering clues to a distant memory I can only try to imagine.
Mellow Yellow Melancholy
Sara Catherine Nayir
Acrylic on wood panel
"Within the confines of the canvas, I attempt to lay out the conceptual, though oh-so-present, wound of loss. How that initial loss is sustained over time in our melancholic longing is a pivotal aspect of the human condition that I confront. Grief is thus conveyed in the posthumous portraiture of my paternal grandparents, Kegham and Gülkiz Nayir. To go through the motions of sketching and painting, as I view it, is to invoke those hazy memories I have of the couple, preserved in the stillness of the original photograph."
Blurred origins 
Yangming Liu
Digital Photography 
In Blurred Origins, the artist reflects on the loss of individuality in a world shaped by millennia of inherited ideologies and cultural patterns. Using the lens as the embodiment of societal conformity—the subject gazes into the source of all resemblance in people.The artist invites audiences to cross the blur and witness their own humanity mirrored in the variations of another.
Fingerprints No. 1
Janine Wong
Digital
Fingerprints No. 1 is a digital collage that explores how family history, place, and time connects the past to the present. Fingerprints from myself, my father, and my mother are superimposed on merged maps of London, Ontario and Taipei, Taiwan—where my parents were born. Parts of their surroundings, stories, and cultures have been passed down, and co-exist within me.

Apricity
Amanda Veloso
Oil on canvas
Apricity — a word that describes the warmth of the sun during winter. That house stands a silent witness to the narrative of my life, cradling memories and stories that shape who I am. Every corner of that house is a repository of precious memories and stories, a breathing museum of the heart. me.

Assorted fabrics appliqued by sewing machine
Inspired by a family photograph, this piece explores the archival qualities of sewing and textile work. I’m interested in how memories from the past occupy space in both the present and future, as well as the implications of their preservation and deterioration. Sewing, embroidery, and other forms of craft were passed onto me when I was younger, and while I’d largely forgotten these skills over the years, I’ve recently been relearning and reinterpreting them into my own artistic practice. This piece further examines how these forms of craft transform when passed from one generation to the next.

mak6
Jasmine Lu
Black and white 35mm film photography
mak6 is the Cantonese Jyutping for ink. This collage of film photos is a portrait of my grandfather, a master Chinese calligrapher working out of Vancouver. Although a dying art, he works to keep this part of his heritage alive, teaching others the value and power that this form of creative expression holds. It is more than ink on paper, it is poetry, expression, music, an extension of self, and a preservation of culture.
Family Dinner
Alice Lyu
Acrylic & paper on canvas 
The theme of my studio project is inspired by my childhood memories. Unlike typical memories, these recollections are often fuzzy and difficult to recall because I remember very little from my early years. I came to Canada in grade five, and this unique experience allowed me to immerse myself in a completely different culture while still holding onto some of my distinct traits from growing up in Beijing, China. In this project, I have reflected on specific images from my childhood that I miss. I realized it is not just the environment that I long for, but also the memories of being with my loved ones. Home can be anywhere as long as I am with my family. To illustrate this, I have imagined a scene of a family dinner that combines both Eastern and Western elements—an ideal place that could representmy home. I pictured myself having dinner with my family during Chinese New Year, a tradition I haven't experienced with my family in China for many years. My mom always says that the best way to connect with people and build relationships is by sitting down to enjoy a meal together. The beautiful scenery outside the window appears almost out of reach, emphasizing the distance between me and my childhood memories. An important element in my painting is the red string, which carries special significance in Chinese culture. It symbolizes the bond of love, typically between couples, but in this painting, it also represents the love and care that exists within families.

Primordial Undoing
Daisy Huang
Acrylic on canvas
The objective facts of our personal histories become blurry with time, leaving us with a hazy backdrop of love, disappointment, and fractured hope. In self-preservation, we cage ourselves with hatred, fearful of being hurt again. But undo our apprehension, introversion, and misgiving to realize… Aren’t we made of colliding stardust, connected by the same chemical makeup of hydrocarbon, nitrogen, and oxygen? United by the nearly pitiful primordial desire to – for once – bask in the contentment of being wholly accepted during this lifetime.

Inevitable Expansion
Jiyun Song
Mixed Media (Acrylic, marker, coloured pencil, oil pastel) on paper
The circle in the centre is Yin and Yang which is symbolic of the balance in life: constantly vacillating between contradictions and trying to conflate them into one. Blue and red, the two representative colours used in the circle also represent the middle of the Korean flag. My heritage. The white stripes on each side complete the rest of the flag. Although the stripes are black and the background white on the Korean flag, there was an intentional switch between the two to demonstrate how identity becomes convoluted over time, especially with immigrant children. The background has a theme of space. There are many eyeballs which are emblem of small planets that float aimlessly without clear direction in life. Navigating space is a difficult feat as it is expanding ceaselessly just as figuring one's identity. The figure in the middle is an accurate description of many, including me, trying to pin down their own culture, but also spread their wings into the unknown.

Generation Why
This student art exhibition explores the theme: "Generation Why” – a generation that finds itself at the crossroads of the past, present, and future. In our modern, ever-evolving world, we find ourselves nostalgic towards tangibles and intangibles, experiences, impressions, and emotions of the past - suspended in our memories, forever out of reach.
"Generation Why" is more than a label; it's a generation that thrives on questioning and wondering about the world it has inherited and the one it is shaping. We are a generation caught in a whirlwind of rapid transformation, grappling with profound societal shifts and technological advances. As we stand at this pivotal moment, we can't help but wonder how we will situate ourselves in this ever-changing landscape.
The artists featured in this exhibition approached the theme in diverse ways – from expressing the way we reconstruct the places of our youth to how our unique generational experiences shape our identities. Their works are a bridge between the past and the present, capturing our generation’s perspective on how to make sense of our past and present as we forge a path into the future. "Generation Why" beckons you to question, to wonder, and to reflect on what it means to be a part of this transformative generation.

Ephemeral Reverie
The 2024 Winter Talking Walls exhibition explores the theme of "Ephemeral Reverie”, an immersive exploration into the delicate dance of fleeting moments and the profound beauty found within life's transience. This exhibition serves as a contemplative space, inviting you to ponder the ephemeral quality of existence and the inherent value embedded in impermanence. Through a visual odyssey, we navigate the interplay of fragility and resilience, seeking to capture the elusive essence of life's transient wonders.
Artists interpreted the theme in diverse ways – by visualizing fleeting thoughts and feelings, finding reverie in chaos and death capturing its beauty, or presenting historical perceptions of our senses to capture ephemeral notions. Through a myriad of artistic mediums, from acrylic paintings to captivating ink works, we invite you to embark on a journey to explore the profound beauty that arises when we embrace life's impermanent nature.
“Ephemeral Reverie” is an invitation to embrace impermanence not as a source of anxiety, but as a source of inspiration. The artworks serve as windows into the artist's interpretation of the fleeting wonders. We hope you will discover a renewed appreciation for the fleeting wonders that shape our lives and our shared journey through time.
