We Are What We Create

Faculty: Eva Perez de Vega

Space / Materiality

Prompt: Design and construct a body-related structure in the most efficient and sustainable way possible.

“We Are What We Create” is a piece that emphasizes the detrimental impacts of plastic pollution. Using plastic bags found around my home, I repurposed them to replicate the human ribcage to send the message that plastic is more present in our lives than we think.

Parsons School of Design has offered students innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college and a progressive performing arts school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
