Branka Rosie Cavar
Curated by The Pentimento Collective
TNG Window Exhibition
Dec 17, 2025 - Jan 8, 2026
The act of collaging and flipping through magazines is like a search for the self. Living with a psychotic disorder impacts the way I see myself and interact with the world. Collaging is a way for me to make sense of the world I engage with, which at times can feel like a dreamscape where anything is possible. My practice celebrates the absurd through cutting and pasting interesting images that capture how it feels to live in a world that no one sees in the same way I do. My greatest hope is that my collages will generate conversations about mental illnesses less commonly discussed, and call audiences to question what they think they know about the capabilities of the human mind.
I am eternally grateful for the people I have met on the path to becoming an honest artist, as well as the family friends who have shown me unwavering support on my journey. This is a story that is very close to my heart, and it is a story that I want to share with others to increase awareness and empathy across communities as a whole. - Branka Rosie Cavar
Branka Rosie Cavar’s artistic practice is informed by her lived experiences with mental health and wellness. Relevant themes in her practice include but are not limited to, art as a form of therapy, discovery, and the exploration of identity. As an interdisciplinary artist, her work is shifting and changing, reflecting the constant flux and movement individuals undergo throughout their lives.
The Pentimento Collective is a student-run arts collective dedicated to amplifying undergraduate voices through curated exhibitions. The Pentimento Collective’s aims are to create an artistic community that will enable artists to engage and connect with other artists and the public, while building their relevant experiences.
Our name, “Pentimento”, comes from the Italian 'pentirsi', which means to repent or change your mind. “Pentimento” itself is a change made by the artist during the process of an artwork. We chose this name to reflect the history and ongoing process of the PUSH and PULL exhibitions.
