Prompt: Students will design and create a 3D object or artifact that reflects their connection to a community or expresses an aspect of their identity, beliefs, or personality. The aim is for the object to visually express feelings of belonging or connection to a particular community, whether chosen or inherent.
I have always been around commuters and I know them as motivated and dedicated, driven with passion, which was why I was inspired by this community. I wanted to make a memorable piece to celebrate the city, its people, and its commuters. While the making portion of this project was an epitome of ‘trust the process’, I really enjoyed the thorough and intentional process of designing the set. While I am proud to now be a part of the commuting community, this project was less for myself and more to shine a light onto the transportation system we all take, and the hundreds to thousands of hard working people who commute to make their impact in the world.
