Indivisible: Kristine Hatanaka's high school art class

I am happy to post square number 125 created by Sophie N., a student from Kristine Hatanaka's art class from Culver City High School Academy of Visual and Performing Arts: 

Collage and marker on paper, 2018.
There are many elements in Sophie's collage that speak to unity, love and connectedness to one another. Looking closely at her work, one sees several  pages from the dictionary that have been torn and reassembled.  Many words from these pages have been highlighted including the following:

Valuable, rebellion, leadership, union, exceptional, pride, respect, self-pride, prevention, proud, courtesy, worship, culture, heal, treat, attend, pioneers, unique.

The central image appears to be a young woman holding one of the "love locks" perhaps from San Francisco, Brooklyn or Paris.  The Love Locks started around 2006; people would engrave their names or their initials and those of a loved one on a padlock and attach it to a bridge.

Please keep sending your squares to the Indivisible Project
