Reflection:
"As faculty in Theatre, Film, and Digital Production I teach public speaking, so I approached this collage considering embodied performance as a vehicle for artistry and activism. “In a World…” draws from the ubiquitous movie trailer tagline and was also inspired by those creative, outspoken individuals who use their voice to shape our world for the better (e.g., Angela Davis -- hand clutching the microphone, energy emanating off the page)."

Archival inspiration:
Description: Joseph Charles, the Berkeley “waving man” with his familiar gloves, smile, and two-arm wave to passing motorists at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Oregon Street. He is wearing a t-shirt from his appearance on the television program “Real People.” For 30 years, from October 6, 1962 to October 6, 1992, Mr. Charles donned yellow construction workers’ gloves, stood in front of his house, and waved to the morning traffic.
Description: Shirley De Blanc Posing for a Studio Portrait, Los Angeles. 1972. Tom & Ethel Bradley Center Photographs, California State University, Northridge.
