Exuberance

Learning anything is a cyclical process. The process of learning follows one of gaining knowledge, then understanding in a never-ending pattern. This pattern, while vicious at times, is absolutely essential to building one's knowledge and humanity. Exuberance strives to depict one small part of that cycle. In the beginning, the smaller ideas are small and disconnected, forming into connections as the piece continues just as our newer knowledge weaves itself in and out of our prior knowledge. By the end of the piece, these ideas have been tried, tested and recontextualized to a point that can be unfamiliar yet still recognizable, providing a metaphor to how our knowledge develops and adapts over time. Exuberance is a work about knowledge, our relationship with knowledge, and how our relationship with that knowledge adapts to the real-world experiences that test us to our core.
