Last year at Valpo felt — more than anything, I think — distant. Because of the newly reshuffled reality we lived in, I often felt more like a distant observer of my classes, my social circle, and my work, than a real participant. That’s why art has been so important for me; the practice of observing what’s around me and putting it down on paper, like I was doing in my digital media class pictured here, makes me feel intimately grounded in a world that seems to always be shifting around.
