Kindness in 2022
“I hope that 2022 will be known as the Year of Kindness.”
Hope and Justice
What I’m looking forward to.
“I made a video about things that I would like to be doing in 2022. I included a video of my dogs and a group picture of my aunt, grandpa, and cousin.”
Hopes and Dreams for 2022
“This video is saying what the people and I would like to happen in 2022 because it’s a new year and we want a better year than 2020.”
Destition: Movie
“Destition: Movie shows how film can be a temporary escape from reality.”
Warm Embrace
“Warm Embrace is an artwork I created where there are two people coming together for a hug and there is a caring moment between the two.”
The Eyes
“My piece is about the feeling of vulnerability and social anxiety, about how it feels for me when I try to pass off that I’m fine and how I feel like anything I do, people will judge me, as if all eyes are on me.”
The Golden Fields
“The meaning of the piece represents prejudice and stereotypes always following the individual in the portrait, the individual being Hispanic and Latino. Instead of letting these stereotypes control their life the person keeps walking through the twists and turns of life’s road.”
Growing Flower Tree
“During the transition of coming back to school (in-person), I felt I lost my sense of balance which set me and my plants to wilt and burn a bit. Something that helped me bring back hope for the future was speaking affirmative words and phrases before leaving home and starting anything new.”
The Student Support System
“My idea focuses on an advantage of returning to school- the ability to connect with friends, and the support and relief friends can provide.”
broken glass
“The glass represents things falling apart and shattering but also being free and the toys relate back to a time when one was a child. My world feels like there isn’t the rule of gravity to hold it down in place but everything is in its own motion choosing to go whichever way it pleases.”
