Artist Statement

Before creating this collaborative artwork, our class learned about empathy. In our class project, we wanted to convey how important it is to show compassion for others when they are hurting by finding ways to help. The gray bird in our image was injured and couldn’t fly until all the other birds came together, each lending a feather so they could all take flight again.
