The title of this year’s SCA Photography Degree Show, carefully selected by the graduates, is a poetic
Welsh term that, like so many, has no direct English translation. Depending on nuance, SIAPIO implies
either ‘SHAPE UP’ – a provocative challenge from Generation Z, or ‘TAKING SHAPE’ – a proclamation
of emerging talent. Both interpretations offer an apt introduction to work that visually and philosophically
explores, reflects upon, and actively challenges the evolving world we live in.
