Eros Nelson, 12th Grade, “Do what you will, see if I care”
Artist Statement:This piece speaks to how I feel the world views me as a disabled person, to how I know it does not care for me and how I know it would rather watch me rot then accommodate for me or for anyone.
Artist Statement: I made this piece because my heart has been real heavy these past couple weeks. I made this piece to show my hurt to express my feelings in a different way. Something that I learned from making this is to let that shit go.

Miku Kawasumi, 10th Grade, “Speak Up”
Artist Statement: This piece illustrates my struggle of speaking out, 以及这种不顾一切的冲动. I used yarn to depict a flow of ideas, and scraps of magazine to represent jumbled words, the contrast which symbolizes the difficulty of formulating my thoughts into words.

Artist Statement: A work that blends acrylic, newspaper, and a lot of glue.
