Artist Statement

We are students at Ballard Elementary Global Studies Magnet School and we are citizens of the world who embody diversity. We should not just tolerate each other; we should love and respect each other. Our differences make us special. By combining self-portraits of 12 second, third and fifth graders, we created a unified picture of diversity. Although each part of the face was created by a different student, the parts are combined into three complete faces. The finished product, just as in real life, is more interesting when people are different.
