I do find you could have expanded your conclusion, discussing how and why the exhibit felt "uneven" to you and which specific pieces you felt lost the values she was trying to convey. You also mention the film about Thomas' mother but I feel like you could have articulated further why, although touching, failed to fit in.

And this idea flows well into the analysis of the collages. I think the discussion on the interior section (and its relationship with the other two parts) could be clarified a bit more, for example, how is this part linked to identity? Also I feel the last paragraph may cause some confusion to the reader. I understand you try to summarize the show by commenting briefly on each of the three sections, but it brings up some ideas that haven’t been discussed previously. For example, what are the questions the interiors fail to answer? Also the comment that the film “exists as a supplement” seems conflict with your previous idea in the second paragraph that “the collages and film are the highlights” of the show.
