(Dis)comfort navigates constructed human experiences, environments, and practices meant to soothe the existential discomfort integral to the lived experience. This exhibition showcases the thesis work of three Master of Fine Arts candidates in the Studio Art & Design MFA track at the UCF School of Visual Arts & Design.

Leeann Rae utilizes charcoal and soft pastel to dissect our understanding of episodic memory.
Brittney Fucheck is a multidisciplinary artist who navigates coming to terms with death through appreciation, acknowledgement, and collaboration with nature.
Gretchen Smith's paintings explore ecological thought and constructed human experience to contextualize the climate crisis.

Through distinctive inquiry and individual lenses, each artist assembles individual views that converge to see past societal constructs meant to give comfort.
