Our art academy students chose to work with the theme ‘Self’.  Each artist selected an object that symbolizes something about themselves-something not many people are aware of. Perhaps you’ll notice some boxes are not quite ready for reveal! They positioned their boxes like a wall to represent the humanness of building internal walls. This artwork asks the question: is it necessary to build walls to protect ourselves, SOMETIMES? How and when do we begin to take down our walls?
