JUDE ZAWAIDEH: PULSE

APRIL 1 – MAY 6, 2022

PROJECT SPACE 340

Surrealist artist and Ringling College Undergraduate Jude Zawaideh captures the essence of the self in response to the physical body overtime. Zawaideh’s work serves as a reflective medium that pushes towards notions of self awareness and exploration. “I am made aware of the consequence of the body, how every circumstance is felt, experienced and endured by the body”

In Pulse  Zawaideh explores the duality of impermanence and permanence within one’s reality. The very nature of the continuously distinctive self is challenged by the various contexts it is placed within, uncovering invasive truths. Some with physical connotations and others intangible, similar to the way a memory evokes a physical response from the body. The series invites the viewers to let go of every quintessential version of themselves and become immersed in the unknown.

The core piece Circulation contextualizes the multiplicity of the bodily self by examining how aspects of a complete whole could feel disconnected despite their apparent connection. Every piece serves as a reflection of the artists reality at different moments in time within different spaces, which all contribute to the experience of a self. 

This exhibition will be on view from April 1-May 6, 2022. In-person viewings are free and open to the public Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm. PS340 is located at 340 Central Avenue, on the first floor of the Arcos building in downtown Sarasota.
