Sara's face leans into her palm that is against her left cheek. a silver glitter glue line circles around her eyebrows, eyes, and nose. with silver dots piercing the center of her pupils, she stares directly into the camera with a face that says "i know who i am and i see you."
I See You by Trish Sachdev
An unidentifiable woman, mouth gaping, is suffocated by a soft white fabric wrapped around the whole of her face. her hands with blue painted nails are delicately placed on either side of her face, as if longing for the air that won't seep in.

The works in this portfolio were originally published in The Gallatin Review, Volume 37, in Spring 2022.

Zoe Schweiger (BA ’22) studied fine arts with an emphasis on environmentalism. Being from Miami, she is drawn to archive her present moment while imagining the future of her home before it devastatingly floods if there is no structural change. She uses collage, video, and painting to depict her home, loved ones, and environments’ surfaces with the imminent danger of the rising water.

Pilar Cerón (BA ’23) studies art, theater, fashion, and media with a focus on highlighting marginalized voices and stories. She is also pursuing a minor in Chinese Language. She’s a first-generation college student and an NYU Martin Luther King Jr. Scholar. She loves good food and good music.

Sheridan Smith (BA ’23) is a freelance photographer specializing in documentary photography and portraiture. In addition to studying at the Gallatin School, she and works as a staff photographer for Washington Square News. Her academic focus is concerned with the preservation of truth and representation in visual storytelling through the interplay between documentation and creativity.

Trish Sachdev (BA ’24) is developing a concentration in Creative Communication for People and the Planet, initially sparked by her long-lasting love for people connecting and for photography. For this reason, her passion for picture-taking continues to be pulled by portraits; it provides her and her model(s) with a safe and controlled space to challenge our creativity within the collaborative process. They develop a vision together, Trish adopts the techniques required to achieve their concept, and her model leans into an expression of themselves. A combination of this, alongside special attention paid to bold composition and careful color palettes, are what allows for her Funky Fish portraits to stand out.

Natalie Osmond (BA ’23) is majoring in Studio Art at Steinhardt. Her art is a personal visual translation of her exploration of her identity and more specifically her womanhood through photography. Most of her work explores the male gaze, body autonomy, sexuality, relationships, and growing up.

Charlie Besso (BA ’24) has always been fascinated by how people treat beauty as though it is a source of credibility. As an artist, Charlie strives to re-interpret beauty and to use it as a tool to bring attention to things which matter (topics that might be deemed “ugly”).
