As I close out my LiA experience, I am amazed at how much more confident I feel in my work. I am struck by how sad I am that this experience is ending just as I feel like I have gotten used to the work I am doing. Through this experience, I have met so many wonderful people who have helped me learn and grow, and whom I will greatly miss. The past few weeks have exposed me to new ways of thinking about art, social change, and the world as a whole, and I will carry these lessons with me always.
