Original artwork description:

Throughout my travels at my University, I have seen many different cultures. They all coexist and move towards the same goal. But what really seems to grab my attention is the faith and pride that foreign students have in their studies. They see this chance as an opportunity, something that they can only grab now with the limited amount of time they have. This is something that I truly envy. Through their struggles in the past they have grown to see that education is power. It is something that no government or anyone can take away from them. This piece was made to embody the strong spirit that emanates from such immigrants world wide.

Materials used:
