About

Born on July 8, 2000, in Norfolk, Virginia, Sean Ball is an interdisciplinary artist currently based in Houston, Texas. He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Film in 2024. His work explores and expresses various aspects of his life.

He is currently working on progressing his photo series, Even Angels Struggle. A visual project that focuses on overcoming his ongoing struggle and insecurities about his body, exploring his complex and convoluted relationship with religion, specifically that of Christianity, which has been prevalent since childhood, and expressing the emotional turmoil and hardship he’s been experiencing in regard to his health and personal life post-grad. Even Angels Struggle primarily draws on John Milton’s characterization of Lucifer in his epic poem, Paradise Lost, as a foundation for a photographic series that visually depicts three acts: the fall, contemplation, and rebirth.
