Our project shows how different artworks from our trip to MoMA reflect parts of our identity and the ways we see the world. To bring these aspects together, we created a collage that captures how our thoughts, experiences, and perspectives are constantly evolving. Through these images, we show how art can reveal new parts of ourselves and inspire us to keep growing.

How did completing your project help you explore the role of arts in the lives of New Yorkers and their communities?

This project helped us understand how art can shape the lives of New Yorkers and their communities as creative spaces, like museums, offer people a chance to express themselves and see their own perspectives reflected in different ways. By looking closely at the artworks from MoMA, we saw how these personal experiences and creativity can overlap. So, art seen in NYC museums become a powerful way for people to feel part of a larger community.
