  • Five people hold hands and sit in a circle on a newspaper boat in blue water

    White Clouds Drifting Where?

    The first imagery that came to my mind about the illustration is the image of people coming together. The idea is that these people are coming together despite the differences in nationality, beliefs, and culture. The boat image in my poster represents the crisis of the refugees seeking hope and a safe place to stay. It portrays a strong visual and overwhelming emotions while questioning how these people had to go through such harsh living conditions in their native countries. They are seeking refuge in another country and hoping to be welcome regardless of their origin or political status. The reason why I chose this haiku is because it speaks for me in a simple way and reminds me of how I feel about living in Syracuse.
