Spring 2026 Visual Art Spotlight: “Starstruck” by Desmond Tompkins
Desmond Tompkins is a KPU student and interdisciplinary artist based in Metro Vancouver. His piece, "Starstruck," deconstructs a film still, reconfigured to resemble the flicker of a TV screen just before it shuts off or the buffering of a film strip. By distorting the familiar image of a starstruck couple, it challenges Hollywood’s idealized portrayals of romance.
