Land of Remembrance/
Cleveland Charter High School

The Land of Remembrance was an interactive installation built in conjunction with Cleveland Charter High School for Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead. It was in honor of the communal losses experienced during this pandemic which has taken its toll on our physical and mental health, our dreams and traditions, and our very way of life.

Classroom of Compassion:
A Parkland Tribute/
Cleveland Charter High School

Over a month-long workshop, students and staff designed individual school desks inspired by the life and love of each person lost in the tragedy. While creating their tributes, each designer discussed the personal effects of gun violence on their every day existence in a safe and welcoming space and participated in compassionate meditations and exercises. At the end of the workshop, the students and staff wrote about their chosen person, providing a beautiful biography to accompany the art. Each desk was a practice in honoring life: each desk was a lesson in Love.
