  • Community Exhibit

    Community
    Old City Publishing 628 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, United States

    Community, as defined in the Oxford Dictionary, is “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes and interests”. A sense of community can lead to empowerment and foster change in one’s life. My intention with this installation is to suggest and comment on the urgency in our world these days of people coming together regardless of their physicality or ethnicity. I hope to inspire introspection and unity as we move forward during this challenging global time. These storefront exhibitions are viewable 24/7 from the outside.
