For me, the best way to make ideas concrete is by drawing. So, I spent some time in the studio reflecting upon the conversations I had with community members about hope and decided to make a key of the symbols we generated. Once the key was done, it was time to get to work scaling them up and cutting them out of the alumalite panels with my jigsaw. 

I have to say, the more I look at the symbols the more excited I am to have them jump off the page and into a sculpture. Check out them out below!
