Gray Areas

Thesis Project & Exhibition

Spring 2025

Gray Areas is a personal exploration of the dualitiy of the human experience—structure and freedom, certainty and ambiguity, life and death. Rather than seeing these forces as opposing, I view them as complementary, shaping our identities and influencing how we navigate the world. My work serves as a way to document and understand these relationships, drawing from my own experiences and observations.

This exploration is rooted in my cognitive dissonance regarding my cultural identity as an American with Russian and Georgian heritage. Raised in an in-between space, I often find myself suspended between two worlds, neither fully belonging to one nor the other. This sense of existing in a “gray area” informs my perspective, compelling me to investigate the spaces where contradictions intersect. Not just in identity, but in thought, behavior, and perception.

I believe that our personal truths exist within these intersections. Habits can feel monotonous, yet they provide stability. Mistakes may seem like failures, but they lead to growth and understanding. We crave structure for security, yet we seek freedom for self-expression. It is in these spaces, between certainty and uncertainty, that complexity and authenticity emerge.

Through material exploration and photography, I ground these abstract dualities in tangible objects and everyday moments, connecting the physical with the philosophical. My work invites viewers to embrace the nuances of contradiction and encourages introspection.

Ultimately, to be human is to exist in the gray areas where dualities meet.
