For this installation, we took red yarn and crossed it over the hallway in 27 repeated X shapes. We did this by cutting 7.5-foot pieces of red yarn and tying them to opposing lockers: one end tied to the higher locker on one side, and one end to the lower locker on the opposite side. Which side was higher or lower was alternated with every string to create an X effect that shifts as the viewer moves.
This installation can have multiple meanings depending on the lens through which it is viewed. Our original idea was to emulate the mind of a child pretending to be a spy: creating mazes to dodge through, and running through life with an attitude of play. However, when we took a step back the piece seemed to instead symbolize the challenges that we face as we move through life: dozens of barriers in our way that we need to tear through. With this view in mind, the deconstruction of our installation turned this project into a performance piece. Barriers can be broken when you find the right tools to help you tear them down.
This pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale showcases the complexities & struggles of being Black in America. This piece in particular caught my eye because of the way it illustrates Black individuals holding up the building and supporting a system that doesn't even accept them.

This piece was created using an old hard drive full of photos from my childhood DS. All of those photos carry the memories of an era of my life I wish I could return to: A time where I didn't have any responsibilities. I was just a kid having fun with my friends. However, the last time I tried to go back to view the photos, the hard drive was broken and I couldn't access them. This piece as a result really represents me growing up and leaving my childhood- I kept this drive around, I keep the memories around even though it's broken and the memories are gone and I can never go back there again.
Rora Blue is a new media artist from Nevada. The Unsent Project, her most well-known work, explores the connections we have between love and color. Using viewer submissions of unsent messages to first loves on the colors they associated with that love, Rora arranges the submissions into collages based on color or theme.
Kasey - I love the angle of this picture and the word you chose to go with it. It puts it all together and almost makes it seem like one of those pictures in a magazine!
Emilee - I really love the words you used. I think you added a deeper meaning to all these images using them. You were successful at making these images have a voice.
Most days I'm able to travel quite a bit. I'm her favorite travel buddy, her constant companion. Most days I see the same things. We walk the same paths, sit in the same classrooms, bask in the same fluorescent lighting. Personally, I’m a sticker girl myself. A lot of my friends don’t have many (or even any at all), and some of them flat out but they make me recognizable. My biggest ambition in life is definitely to be appreciated. My travel buddy sometimes is all over me, but most of the time she doesn’t interact with me a lot besides filling me up to take me on a walk. I just want to be consistently loved. - my water bottle

"I forgot to balance the account," I grumbled, looking up to see the geese arriving for work. I had arrived late to work at the detective's office today, but not late enough to be there after the geese. They're late every day, and none of the other animals at the office know why. One time I asked one of them why, on a rare occasion that he was alone. I said "Mr. Goose, why are you all late for work every day? What could possibly be so important that the Animal Bureau of Investigation misses your presence for the first hour of every morn?" His only response was "Sometimes Mr. Otter, one must do secretive things to make a living in this world," and shrugged as he walked away. When he left that night he winked at me before running out the door into a rainstorm. I never saw him again after that. "Geese", I huffed. "Always up to no good."
you don't know them but trust me they're wonderful
