Who is Ryan Angel Meza?

“BEST IN SHOW” SENIOR PROJECT
SACRAMENTO STATE UNIVERSITY 2019
Project Title: “Douglas Hall”
Medium: Photographic Prints, 12x18 images, window mounted in 18x24 framing
Artist Statement: “Douglas Hall” is about the celebration of individuality and diversity while also presenting the idea of vulnerability, self-awareness, and the art of language. Ironically, Douglas Hall is a building at Sacramento State that hosts classes in the fields of English, Psychology, Philosophy, and Foreign Language.
Though the title is reflective of where the individuals were photographed, it is more important to take note that it resembles a place where students all emerge in time—the opportunity to congregate should one choose or simply pass-through. The distinctive lighting is an important characteristic that depicts the passing of time and the relationship it carries with ideas such as “what-ifs” and “regrets.” Is the lighting premonitory to the individual’s future? The hallway is a passage where students can find their way through such ideas and conflicts.
Conflicts? Yes, most of the time, conflicts are within ourselves (mental, emotional, and even physical) and are rarely visible to the stranger. When was the last time you had a real and heartfelt conversation with someone? Technology devices have seemed to find its way to block us from communicating anymore. Ironic isn’t it.
Furthermore, this body of work investigates how people are perceived based on the way they (re)present themselves—what can body language reflect, when confronted, during this decisive and brief moment in time?
