Today was our final critique in 3D
art, and the culminating project was entitled “Home, shelter, shrine”. I chose to design disaster relief shelters, developing
an earthquake camp in Kezar Stadium as my prototype. I had a lot of fun thinking about how to
package pre-fab units into shipping containers and constructing the
models. But I was simply blown away by
the other students’ concepts; with only three exceptions, including mine, the
projects all were powerful nods to members of their families. Two designs were homes for their parents who
could never realize their own dreams.
Several were shrines to mothers or grandparents, one was a
reconstruction of the home he had grown up in in another land, and another was
a statement about the homelessness she had experienced. I held back tears with each presentation, powerfully
moved by the love these young people had for their families and their heartfelt
testimonies.
