Art Connects Us

My goal is to design a project that speaks to everyone and highlights what is most important and essential during these challenging times. I want to include everyday items we all REQUIRE as a reminder of our similarities rather than our differences. This includes hazard pay, self-care (sleep, diet and exercise), safety gear, medicine and toilet paper. The vital role these people play has never been more apparent. From farmers, to suppliers, to nurses, to bus drivers, and everyone in between. I personally took their contributions for granted and this has been a helpful reminder how fortunate we are to have their help. Thus my idea is a collage of “essential items” that resonate with the everyday person to remind them of their power to make a difference in their community. Hence, every Minnesotan matters and is essential.
