A
caesura
(pronounced
say-sura)
denotes
a
brief
and
silent
pause
within
a
metrical
foot
of
a
poem,
song,
and
other
forms
of
art.
Alternatively,
it
references
a
break
of
an
era;
where
one
ends,
and
another
begins.
This
exhibition
presents
the
work
of
thirty-four
artists,
on
the
verge
of
completing
their
final
year
as
Fine
Arts
students
at
the
University
of
Waterloo.
The
exhibition
captures
a
caesura
of
sorts:
in
the
moment
where
a
group
of
artists
come
together
to
take
a
breath,
in
celebration
of
their
achievements
and
the
possibilities
that
their
futures
hold.
The
diverse
collection
of
artworks
on
display
speaks
to
the
distinct
paths
that
the
artists
have
pursued,
on
a
shared
four-year
endeavour
towards
an
undergraduate
degree.
While
marking
the
end
of
one
era, Caesura previews
new
chapters
to
come,
for
this
soon
to
be
graduating
class.
