Description

For this cabinet I wanted to highlight the ideas of community and intersection. The shapes in the background represent intersection and how shapes can cross and combine to make something new. On top of these abstract shapes are hands reaching out to each other and either giving or receiving flowers and nature. I wanted to highlight in a simple and beautiful way, how small acts of kindness bring us together as a community and make us more connected. The hands are also a connection to the community mural by Armando Silva.
