Title: The Art of Standing Up

Presented by Stephanie Fernandez - double major Biopsychology and Visual Arts With special thanks to Professor Billy Friebele

Description: This piece would have been much easier to construct if it were lying down. But much like an individual with a mental health disorder, the mere act of standing it up completely alters the playing field and presents new complexities, as it must now defy gravity and its own weight. These waves symbolize the network of support that we have built over time, which is capable of holding us up even when things seem to be falling apart.

It is a balancing act that we orchestrate daily... Yet we make it look effortless.
