The plan is to stay ?


I took these photos a couple weeks ago during our visit to the art gallery in the Art & Architecture building. I thought this work by Nick Tobier was really interesting. It made me think about the personal decisions that face me at this point in my life, and one of these decisions is: to stay, or not to stay? I have been contemplating whether I should finish my degree next year and graduate, or whether I should study abroad next year and then take an extra semester or two. I love that art is often so applicable to our own lives as to almost feel personal - as if the artist made their piece just for us, even though we have never met and may never meet. Every piece of art is truly a book: it tells a story, sends a message, and connects all of us with its universality.

  1. This piece immediately reminded me of Steve Powers' work, initially (I thought) because of the aesthetics– but then I found this! Weird coincidence. http://www.streetartnews.net/2011/06/steve-powers-daily-metaltations-june-2.html
