Oct. 29, 2020 Question 1: What inspired you?
“I would say that the message is (this is very brief) that everyone goes through a time in their High School/ Jr. High career where they don’t feel included (and I went through that too), but I don’t want anyone to feel that way, so I think that a little bit of diversity is a good thing.” The message Brooke wanted to convey ties back to the reason why she chose the people that she included. She wants to show all aspects of Le Roy High School and she doesn’t want anyone to feel left out. In her artist statement (pictured below) Brooke goes into further detail about her struggles with embracing her true self and missing out on great opportunities because of the invisible pressure of fitting into the social norm of a high school student. With this piece of art, Brooke hopes to encourage everyone to be diverse, respectful, and kind to everyone whether you understand them or not. “I am grateful for who I have become, and I leave this piece here feeling optimistic about what is to come for all of us.”
