A homework assignment using the combination of food and water. The orangish boat with tooth sticks is firmly made from mangos. A general idea of a boat lying on a glitter rock stone – our golden land with trashes surrounded—a metaphor of humans’ ignorance towards what is being destroyed around them.

The boat in mangos was later taken by an iPhone camera and edited on Adobe.

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.
