Artist Inspiration x Winter Olympics

The Winter Olympics just ended last weekend. I didn't get a chance to watch the opening, but I found some pictures of it that were quite awe-inspiring. One scene featured light-wired human figures doing different sporting activities and was hung from the ceiling. It reminds me a lot of The People Project, which I've been continuing in the community. One difference, though, is that the Winter Olympics focus on the actions of the figure, my project focuses on the interaction between the interaction between the figure and the architecture. I particularly loved how the opening ceremony represented Russia's iconic St. Basil's Cathedral, with colorful helium inflatables. 

Humans of Emma Willard School #1

I have officially started documenting Humans of Emma Willard School. The enthusiastic response of the people in the community took me by surprise, as I gained more than 300 followers in less than a week's time.  The most challenging part so far is to know how to respond to what people say and ask questions that can deepen the conversation. Nonetheless, I'm really enjoying the process of reaching out to people and listening to their stories. Other than tightening the bonds within the community, I hope to raise the awareness of the people who are less noticed but make a huge impact on campus, for instance, Marty the Mechanic. I'm so excited to see how this project turns out!
