More than two dozen works presented tackle themes of identity, with women in many of them depicted as strong and powerful, but also at times introspective and fragile. Some are confronting -- as is the case with Jiab Prachakul"s "Purpose," a self-portrait that sees the artist cast an unfaltering gaze at the viewer, while others emphasize community, like Melissa Joseph"s "Smells like Pre-Teen Spirit," which shows a diverse group of teenage girls.
