I want to express my gratitude to Professor Anne Beffel (Michigan Technological University Department of Visual and Performing Arts) for her invaluable advising and mentorship on this project. I also want to thank my peers from MTU's 2023 Art and Nature class, who critiqued and helped guide my ideas along the way. Finally, a big thanks to everyone from the university who helped make the in-person exhibit a reality, with a special shoutout to art studio assistant Stevie Silvio for his personal dedication in helping me achieve my goals.
