Hi, I'm Sara Jackson!

This corner of my portfolio brings together reflections across the diverse fields of art—from dance and film to contemporary visual culture. Rooted in the academic research I conducted during my Master’s in Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of Edinburgh, these posts go beyond scholarly inquiry. They are shaped by personal fascinations: a film that lingers in the mind, a performance that raises questions, a painting that invites a philosophical gaze. Here, I blend theoretical frameworks, psychological insights, and philosophical thought to explore the layered meanings behind the art that moves us.
