Making the Invisible Visible
A song with simple yet powerful lyrics plays over the speakers in the galleries of the Newcomb Art Museum: You can’t keep a ray of light from creeping in your room / you can’t fix a lie from shining down the truth / I’m not invisible anymore.

Looking back, each experience was equally invaluable toward my maturity.
