Concept came to life with each student creatively photographed in silhouette by Dona ♡ to a design I then made to transform into a mural which then bloomed into textile maps of armor - students drew their own abstract line work to tell a story of rooted in space while out of place-expanding out to each individual still joined as one ☆ subtly + delicately woven together through energetic heart strings -hearts always present-source*

each learning cursive with a special word of choice- tie in their own personalized style- as reflecting their thought process~ a creative expression, sparking a unique + meaningful - yet personal skill 𐎚𐎚❤︎
