My senior piece depicts adoptable dogs at a local rescue, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. Underneath each portrait is a collage of pictures, descriptions, information, and a story behind each dog. The information embedded in the collages include: name, breed, age, weight, gender, and more. The combination of the portraits with the collages allow a more personal connection between the audience and the rescue animals. The piece was made to promote the adoption of the numerous rescue animals in shelters. This is a passionate cause of mine as I have volunteered at animal rescues and hope to one day make a difference in the veterinary community. Becoming a veterinarian has become an aspiration of mine since working with animals in need at rescues and being exposed to the impacts local veterinarians have had on the quality of life of the animals I have worked with. With the number of domestic animals in need, in crucial conditions, and up for adoption, Peggy Adams and other local rescues, such as Furry Friends and All For One Pet Rescue, are especially important as they are no kill shelters. Making this passion project as one of my last pieces in my high school career, allowed me to accumulate and combine all I have learned through my years at Dreyfoos with my future aspirations and one of my most passionate causes.
