PVHS Virtual Art Show

The Palos Verdes Library was pleased to host the Palos Verdes High School Advanced Photography Show for a brief period in March 2020. Due to COVID-19 and the library's closure, our PVHS students were unable to share their physical artwork with the community but have come together to share it virtually. PVLD's Art In our Library program thanks these students for sharing their work with us.

(Not) An Art Show:

An Opposite Themed Advanced Photography Show

Torn Together Alexis Andersen When looking at a person, everyone usually notices a physical appearance first, whether it's their hair, skin, clothes or even faces. Everyone looks at each other with different perspectives or angles. But once you look at someone as a whole you realize not everyone is that different.	Battle of the Sexes Sofia Bandy	Predator vs. Prey Delaney Bradley Predator and prey can coexist.
Cats & Dogs Beatriz Cabrera Image 2	Rebellious Dancer Elizabeth Campbell	Yelling Against My Capital Kate Dean We've created a government/society to represent freedom, liberty and justice. These days it feels like we are fighting for our choices, the opposite of what America was built on. I am trying to capture the importance of the way this country has changed. Yes, it has changed in many ways positively, but it seems like for women, America is taking steps backwards. Women are getting laws put on their own bodies, when the people who decide on these laws are mostly men.
Heavy Pour Zoe Dearborn There are a lot of sad, dark things in the world and many of us work very hard to pour as much light into everything as we can. Sometimes we go too far, we pour too much light in and it is overwhelming. When is the right time and how much is too much?	Big Little Farah Dia	Suck My Banana! Isabella Dileva
Who We Are to Everyone Else Chloe Dowling In the modern age of technology, other people's opinions seem to have a great effect on an individual's identity, character, and personality. The world is always moving and society doesn't always wait for someone to figure out their identity. When an individual is influenced by other people's opinions, they often change to fit the description others give them. In a show about opposites, this photo gives light to how calm we all may look on the outside when in reality, we never know what's going on in someone else's head and we never truly know how large of an impact our words can have on others.	Black and Color Joe Hargrove	Pantshirt Emily Imbach
Separation Amanda King	Baby Formula Zoe Klein With continuous advancements in our society, we often don't think about the consequences we cause the environment. We continue to manipulate our environments to fit our own needs not thinking about how it's affecting the rest of the world. This is what I'm trying to convey in my image representing human versus nature. The fish in the plastic bottle signifies the control we have over the environment, being able to contain things however and whenever we want to.	Time Travel Pili Marco
Old to Young Jillian Martz	Self Reflection Kyla McLay This pawn sees itself as a king. Life can be however you choose to envision it, regardless of how it is viewed by others.	Old & Young Kate Moore This image represents the bond between generations in a family regardless of age.
Arctic Flames Talia Patti	Dead and Alive Ellie Pearson In the world, the two simple ways of showcasing life and death are a skull, obvious death, and nature or flowers which represent growth and a new beginning. When taking this photo I wanted a clear delivery of life and death. Making the subject black and white but having the stark contrast of colored flowers creates an intense difference and extreme opposites. A life and death situation is extreme and full of emotion although this photo comes off as calm, the message behind it is far from that.	[Untitled] Ella Petak
Fire & Ice McKinley Pieper Of a contrary kind, fire and ice are diametrically different, yet they can both destroy our world.	Two Faced Maggie Puhl Sometimes our true identity is blocked by our social image. We censor ourselves to fit in, but in reality, our inner mind shines bright.	Healthy & Unhealthy Sage Roth-Berg
Rotten Apple Salvatore Russo The two sides of the photo were taken a week apart. I decided to choose a white background for the healthy side, representing life and purity, and a black background for the rotten side, representing death and impurity.	Mod vs Hippie Maya Sanacore Image Two	Smoke At Odds Mikayla Smith
What's Your Position? Hailey Thompsen	It's a Lonely Saturday Night Ethan Zaro "Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone. I put another record on my stereo. But I'm still singing a song of you. It's a lonely Saturday night" -Goodnight Ladies by Lou Reed
