Meet Alex, a quirky third-year Fine Arts student at the University of Waterloo who embraces the unconventional side of creativity. Known for pushing the boundaries in their art projects, Alex often jests about using bizarre methods to express feelings and critique societal norms. With a passion for absurd humor and a penchant for challenging expectations, they sometimes joke that the most genuine art comes from ‘butt-cheek prints’—though deep down they emphasize the importance of true artistic effort. Balancing their playful antics with a serious commitment to their craft, Alex is always the life of the studio, sparking laughter while also engaging in heartfelt discussions about the value of art.
