Byrne, P. (2017) Blood Diamond. [Sculpture]https://pennybyrneartist.com/works
This is a photo of the sculpture Blood Diamond. This sculpture shows two blood cells, one floating over the other. This is related to science because it has something to do with anatomy, which is the science of the body. It also relates to science because the main purpose of the sculpture is to bring awareness to a cure for Malaria, which has something to do with the science of germs, insects, and the immune system.

Lovering, P. (2013) There Must Be Some Kind of Way Out of Here. [watercolor, gouche, acrylic, and gin] Retrieved from https://fineartamerica.com/featured/there-must-be-some-kind-of-way-out-of-here-paul-lovering.html
This is a painting of a previous famous artist named Jimi Hendrixx. He is part of the music culture, which I feel is the most influential culture around the world. This picture is based on one of his famous songs "There Must Be Some Kind of Way Out of Here". The song was a secret cry out for help from him, when he then later died from drug overdose. Even though he died, he left the world with music to remember forever. His creativity was unique and influenced a lot of people to express their creativity as well. I feel that culture means bringing something to the table and encouraging others to bring something as well, and applying all those things as a community.

Shaalan, R. (2017) Sunrise Interior [photograph].

I took this photo a little while ago so my room has changed a little bit (a lot more art materials everywhere) but I have the same feelings I did the morning I took this photo. Something about the morning sun and a space where I can freely practice my creativity makes me extremely happy every single day. I look at it with new eyes today by noticing my subconscious color palette decisions when choosing each piece you see here. Most objects in my room are neutral colored and a lot of them are of earthy tones and natural materials. There are a lot more plants now which bring more earthy, natural vibes to the space. Hopefully I'll learn more about myself and my environments with knowledge gained from this course.

I believe Thomas Eakin’s artwork has a great influence on popular programs such as photoshop. His artwork was all about recreating a person, place or thing in the form of art. Eakins focused a great deal of time and patience into capturing every single detail, proportion size, and color of something he saw. In photoshop, a great deal of users put a great deal of time and patience blending various images in a way that seem realistic much like what Thomas Eakins did in the past. Even people that aren’t familiar with Thomas Eakins end up following his style without realizing it.

When it comes to art, the first name that comes to mind is Pablo Picasso. Picasso is an artist most people probably know about even if they’re not into art or anything related to the subject. His name appears in the popular film Da Vinci code. Picasso is regarded as one of the greatest painters in the world. Just looking at the image above, you can get a sense of his unique sense of style. Picasso has a unique way of looking at things which is reflected onto his paintings. Picasso’s art style has influenced future generations of painters around the world.

I feel as though I wouldn't be me without my culture because the way my culture go about different things. Plenty of things are not allowed in my household or to be done or said at all. In this image you can see a view of a place in Jamaica called "Dunns River Fall". Ever since I was younger we would go to this place every time we visited Jamaica. It felt as though we made it an traditional thing. At this place you have to climb a river fall of huge rocks which is pretty hard. Sometimes I'd climb and turn back around and just go inside the beach. On Sundays, we'd attend this place after church to eat fish and festival and have fun.

This is a picture taken by me in Washington, D.C. It is a picture of the sunset by the train station. Looking at the image I can see that the background has a two different colors, and there is no mixture in between them. There is only a mixture colors near the part where the sun is going down. It looks like someone is wiping the blue in the sky to cover up the red. Also the foreground is very dry and bland color wise, so it kind of contradicts the whole image, and brings the colors in the sky out more.

Watkins, G. (2012, August 8). Breaking Bad's season five costume designer on Walt's darker look. Retrieved from https://www.vulture.com/2012/08/breaking-bad-costumer-interview.html

One aspect of media that I began to take notice of due to the lessons within this course are the costume designs featured in the shows and movies I enjoy watching. A favorite show of mine is Breaking Bad starring Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Throughout the seasons, the lead character, Walt, gradually underwent a character evolution into a darker, more sinister protagonist. The costume designer, Jennifer Bryan, and director Vince Gilligan ensured that the process would be reflected through the character’s attention to clothing and detail. Walt’s wardrobe grows gloomier as he slowly becomes more like his murderous criminal competitor in the drug trade (Watkins, 2012).

Monaco, A. (2019) Street Mural [picture] retrieved from https://padlet.com/aschreibman/pi3zcp824q18

I walk past this mural just about everyday on the way to class, it's around the corner from the school. I used to think nothing of it, that it was just a mural that someone had painted on the side of a building. Now, when I look at it I see the use of wavy lines to create the image of flowing hair. The forms they used are very organic. The way the artist used the blank space of the building to create something beautiful. The way they used multiple colors to create variation and the placement of the little baby heads. I enjoy this piece so much more now that I am actually looking at it rather than just glancing.

Something that I see every single day is my job, but more specifically the building. I see the building at least once day, if not more. I go to work everyday, and I drive past it on my way to school. Pizza Hut, the hut shaped roof. It's almost a signature part of Pizza Hut. The bricks are old and weathered, but still sturdy. The parking lot is full of cars, and has some cracked pavement. The roof is red, but has some sun damage. The sign has two or three letters not lit, but you can still read "Pizza Hut". It's interesting to see the same building everyday, and not always see its flaws or perfections.

It is designed so that on every floor you see something different on the outside and vice vera. The purposely placed creases are there to add to the look but they allow restricted sights of things you wouldn't see at normal glance.

I chose this image of a New York building that I took a couple of years ago. I’m fascinated with architecture, so I love taking pictures of them. When I read this assignment, this image is what came to mind. In looking at it with new eyes, I realized the contrast and intensity of the colors. The white building is in stark contrast with the bright blue of the sky and the dark green of the trees. The further your eyes travel down the picture, you see, in the surroundings, that the objects seem to be darker. For example, the tree near opening of the building appears to be black in color when its really just the lighting. Also, the angle that the picture was taken in & the sharp comparison seem like an illusion if you look at the image for too long.

I've traveled to D.C. numerous times but for some reason I was inspired to take this picture. The picture was able to capture the contrast between the colors of the cream monument and ocean blue sky. I love how every imperfection/perfection of the structure is shown and the detailing of everyone doing their own thing. When viewing this picture I'm almost in awe to the beauty and history that's displayed. The architect was simply genius with all the states being assembled on the top of the monument, to the steps leading up to see Lincoln and lastly the reflecting pool which differentiates the destination of Lincoln and the Washington monument.

My grandfather is important to me because he loved me and I loved him and when I was younger I always knew I can find him at the church working on his van. He would always get me out of trouble by taking me with my brother to Old Country Buffet. Then he use to pick me up from school even though my mom didn't want him to. Couple years ago, he was diagnosed with Alzhiemier's , Dementia and Parkinsion etc. I would see him everyday till the point where he moved into my household . My mom was taking care of him and I was helping her everyday with him and I loved talking to him even though he didn't know my name he knew who I was.

This picture was taken by me. I took it about a year ago when I vacationed to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Before, I would just see a typical scene at a beach, but now, I see art in nature. The rough terrain of the sand, with the seagulls in action, and the shovels in the foreground, paint a beautiful scene at a beach. The imprints on the sand, while the sand smooths out as you go further away, give a feeling of depth to the picture. While in the background, shows a cloudy day, with the buildings in the back giving some space and filling up part of the sky. The grass adds some detail in the background too, with some contrast. The overall color of the picture, gives an impression that the weather was cloudy and the sun wasn't out. Not that many bright colors. The mix of organic shapes and geometric shapes add some variety and make it more appealing to the viewer.

I passed this mural a few times when I was living in Harrisburg for a year. Although I always thought it was pretty for a mural, murals were never really my thing. Recently I was able to see this again, and actually took some time to stop and examine it a little more closely. Rather than just a random splash of color, this mural mimics both waves and plant growth, and contains some details in white that can be easily missed when moving past quickly. It made me reconsider the value of murals more than I had in the past.

Before taking this class, when I would come to this place all I see is trees, the river, and downtown Harrisburg straight ahead. Now I see the difference between peace and chaos and nature. On city island there is quietness and you the birds chirping or maybe even a baseball game or soccer game close by. In the city, there are loud cars and people yelling on the streets or going to work. Being around nature type areas will make people feel better and be less stressed.

Something that I absolutely would not be me without would have to my family. Though we have been through tons of hardship, our relationship has always prevailed. I have honestly no idea what I would do if we did not have this relationship. The world would be a much more colder and lonelier place if i did not have them to turn to. They are my saving grace, we have a bond that cannot be broken. We made of pure female strength that gets stronger with every issue that we tackle together. While the genders are off, this picture represents that for me because like paper dolls, we will always stay together.

This is a photograph of beach-goers in the high sun on a bright July afternoon: an iconic scene for a New Jerseyan who hails from the shore. Taken by Gary Tognoni, Ocean City captures an ideal summer day from my childhood. While my mother wasn’t too keen on swimming (not wanting to disturb her expensive hairstyles), my dad along with my aunts, uncles, and cousins would load up an old 1999 Chevy Blazer (deemed “the beach car” as it was constantly sandy) with chairs, fishing poles, coolers of famous Wawa hoagies, and other supplies and head out around 7 AM to hopefully beat the impending beach traffic. For a kid to be excited about waking up before sunrise, something fun must be in the works.

Growing up as an only child, those beach days with my dad and the rest of his side of the family were dear to me. At that age, I could have fun in the gritty sand without a care in the world. While the adults would fish, my cousin Sarah and I would keep an eye on the smaller kids as we sat in the waves and talked for hours. The entire state of New Jersey is imprinted on me, but the Jersey Shore is the place where I would spend valuable time with both of my parents growing up and traditions were formed.

For this week group Padlet, I choose Ramanujacharya statue of equal representation. Ramanuja is the one who spread equality among all living humans, animals, and all living natures. Not all the women were treated equally to make their belief in Vaishnavism; infact they were not allowed to practice as all man was practicing. Back in thousands of years ago in India, there was no equality to the woman, especially if they are Vaishnavas and practicing Vaishnavism. The belief is still in Hindu religion but more focused towards "Mokshya" not having to come back to earth as the belief in Hindu is the rebirth. Vaishnavas believe that practicing the spirituality of Vaishnavism will mitigate all the life pain, rebirth in different forms, such as soul in animals, humans, or other living kinds. This image represents that "Ramanuja" spread all the secret to all the women and spread Vaishnavism & Mantras to provide equality among all. He believes that all humans should be treated equal and should have freedom.

This image is important to me, because I believe in freedom and equality to everyone. I believe that everyone should be treated without any discrimination on religion, race, or anything. I believe that we are first living human beings before being anything. Ramanuja spread the knowledge and I received some good information which this image is important to me.

All the family get togethers like weddings, camping, and graduations all revolved around alcohol. Seeing how all the adults in my life couldn’t function without alcohol and the dangerous things they did like drunk driving made me never want to try it. I was made to go to al-anon meetings when my 13-year-old sister went into rehab for alcoholism. By abstaining from alcohol, I was separated from most of my peers. Teenagers to people in the early twenties in the United States go out and binge drink. It is ingrained in the American culture. I wasn’t part of this.

The Tree of Life is a common symbol for many religions, including both the Jewish and Christian religions of my ethnicity.  Growing up, I often saw my  Bubie (Yiddish for Grandmother) wear a necklace with this symbol, and she also had an image of it hung in the living room of her small house in Pittsburgh.  Every five years, this side of my family would have a family reunion back in Pittsburgh, and the tree of life was always part of it: it could be spotted on the invitations, the decorations, the napkins, and even the t-shirts or mugs that we all went home with.  As I got older, I began to appreciate the meaning inherent in the symbol.  It was more than just an image of a family tree.  It represented the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden, in the book of Genesis. It was also mentioned several time in Proverbs as a tree that bore fruit to sustain, and leaves to heal, the faithful because its water source came from the Temple of Jerusalem.  (Both Old Testament, so part of the bible both Christianity and Judaism accept).  In Judaism, the Tree of Life is also a major symbol in the tradition of Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah. The Tree of Life is also mentioned frequently in the Book of Revelations (New Testament, so Christianity only), where it is said that it will bear twelve fruits, and will be a reward to those who suffered through the Last Days.  The Tree of Life represents who we are as a family, and what we believe in.  Even though we have our roots, we continue to grow.  I also wouldn't be me without this symbol, because -  literally - it is always with me; I chose this to be my first tattoo.

Malcolm X once said that, “the most disrespected person in America is the Black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the Black woman, the most neglected person in America is the Black woman” (1962). In this image, it not only shows the enlightenment and inner peace that comes from truly becoming one with yourself, but also the strength of black woman.

It is important to me because it gives my hope of encouragement that my voice can be heard also and that I can make a change for women in the world. Or at least educate others on why we as women should speak up. Although we as a society came very far, we still get treated unequally. I like to think of myself as a small activist since I take a lot about problems on my Instagram story. I would not be me without women empowerment and speaking out because I wouldn't know the history or journey of these powerful women activist . Which will cause history to repeat itself and not being encouraged to be happy to be a women.

This image represents The Holy Trinity. It is related to my religion. The concept of the Trinity is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is all God, but they can never be each other. This is part of who I am, because collectivel these three parts are my Savior. Also from this I was granted to be born on this Earth with a predestined life. So I am solely to serve my purpose in this Earth, until it is time for me to return to my home. My faith in this has defined my life, and has so far gotten me to where I am. Without my religion I would not be the person I am, and the person I will be.

I took this picture because it views an illusion of a building which looks like it is upside down but it really is not. This image interprets a building as if the building has dropped out of the sky. The name of the building is upside down, you can see that the bricks on the top of the building which really looks like the bottom shows that it was drawn from the roots or underground. the steps are upside down and so is the lights.

The art is based on the Vaishnavism religion which also falls under the Hindu religion. The art represents as the symbol of Vaishnavism which the devotees usually love this art and care about it more in spirituality. The Vaishnavism comes from Ramanuja as the leader/ priest/ religion educator as well as also to believe in Hindu religion that he is the incarnation of god itself. His philosophy was based on Vaishnavism and the message to live the life in peace and spiritual ways, as to believe in rebirth which is the pain of the world, and the only way to remediate is to have moksha/ not have to come again in the earth, blessings by the lord itself. The middle part of the art represents the symbol that Vaishnav devotees put in to have the spiritual mind when the side of the art represents the whole Vaishnavism.

Islamic art encompasses many forms of art including calligraphy, architecture, paintings, glass, pottery, carpets, and embroidery. Although it is unclear when it exactly dates back to, the rule of Umayyad caliphate (661–750) is believed to be the formative period in Islamic art. This exhibition celebrates the beauty and intricacy of Islamic art across several mediums. You'll notice that the works often do not depict sentient beings, this is to avoid idolatry and in part from the belief that creation of living forms is God's prerogative, although it is not actually stated in the Qur'an. Instead, you will see that the pieces often incorporate elements from the four basic components of Islamic ornament; calligraphy, vegetal patterns, geometric patterns, and figural representations. Although the religion covers all continents of the Earth and has such a long history, artists continue to create work that represents the unique identity of Islamic art.

Guido, R. (1627). The Immaculate Conception [oil on canvas]. Metropolitan Art Museum, New York. Retrieved from https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/59.32/

Religious art is a fascinating means of expressing beliefs and devotion. Deemed “sacred” by some, faith has inspired artists to incorporate religious motifs to provide hope and security for themselves and those who view it. Specifically, in Christianity and Catholicism, sacred art attempts to portray significant events and interactions in the Bible. One of the most notable artworks featured in this exhibition, The Immaculate Conception was painted by Guido Reni, a world-renowned religious painter of the Baroque period.

According to Roman Catholic beliefs, the Immaculate Conception was the event in which May, the mother of God, was preserved from the “original sin” at conception. This, in turn, granted her the baptism that her son, Jesus, would eventually redeem for all on earth. The iconography of this artwork was derived from a specific biblical verse (Revelation 12:1 – "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.") in reference to Mary during the interaction with the angels.

Religion is a system of beliefs. There are many different religions in the world, and they all have something that makes them unique. Religion tends to be very sacred and isn’t taken lightly. The theme I picked is Christianity & birth. A Christian staple, Lorenzo Monaco created “The Nativity” in Florence, Italy. The idea of being birthed, or born again, is to give purity and innocence to the person. It gives them a clean slate to be able to reach their full potential, right their wrongs, or to start a new. This artwork represents the birth of Christ and it uses classic Gothic style.

Each religion comes with laws or rules that people who believe will follow without a second thought. I used the artwork below to reflect on the different cultural groups within the world but also their take on spiritual art. Each religion connects through their loyalty and dedication to better themselves as well as hold  a standard that can be idolized in their religion.

The overarching theme I picked is “Art in Islam”. In Islamic art, there are three main types of decoration, one of them is calligraphy. Calligraphy can be thought of writing in a visually pleasing way. Islamic art embodies nonfigural decorations, meaning no figures/entities are to be drawn whatsoever. Calligraphy drawn in Islam are usually text taken from religious texts, such as the Quran, the holy book of Islam. In the artwork itself, there is a harmony that needs to be achieved with the lines in order to have a successful calligraphy. Such things to take note of are spacing, line thickness, patterns, and much more.

This picture signifies a confluence art and science, as it seems to be merging the pathways of creativity and pure scientific logic in a seamless integration.

Science is the law of Nature, and axiomatically, is independent of the existence of humanity. On the other hand, art is something that may be produced by something different than human (for example; nature), but it will not be considered as art if there is no human to value it. Hence art is completely intrinsic to humanity. The above pictures show several geometrical figures that seem to be projected by the human brain. The dark silhouette of the human face can be thought of the source of creativity as well as a microcosm of the universe. Hence it is very obvious that it would contain science as well as art. The black shapes (circular, triangular and square) are all in lines that are either orthogonal or parallel to each other, thus signifying the orderly nature of science. And the multi-colored spherical, and semi-spherical objects have no order about them, which can be attributed to the chaotic yet beautiful nature of art. A Brain/Neural Computer Interface will blur the definition of art and sciences, and we will be more akin to the art of sciences, and we would be seeing the application of science more rapidly in the field of arts, which can begin a new era of new-scientific artworks and artists.

The image I chose was a picture of a snowflake up close. I think one thing we all take for granted is snowflakes, especially how they look like. Of course, to the human eye it looks like just a droplet, but upon closer inspection, the snowflake is actually a hexagonal crystalline structure. The obvious relationship between this is that, this photograph/ allows us to see the true structure of a snowflake. And it is a pretty sight to see. I think that the use of art allows one to see science that you could not normally see. And with this, we can see the repeating patterns of the snowflake, the various geometry, and that every snowflake is unique, none are exactly the same as another. Another reason is that, normally it is hard to see a snowflake up close, even with lab equipment. So an artists rendition or a photograph is much easier to view a snowflake. It expedites the process.

It took me a while to accept and love my shade because in the black community I’m not always received black due to my lighter complexion. Also, within the black community there’s a divide between lighter women and darker women. There’s colorism because of slavery and men judging characters between two different shades of women. I can be seen as prettier, less problematic, and more silent when necessary.

After 20 years of living on this earth. I don't let people affect me. I love who I am. I feel beautiful inside and out.

When I think about beauty, the first thing comes in my mind is Nature itself. I always imagine nature with lots of green color trees, with lots of flowers blooming, and the rivers that look blue. Every time when I look more deeply into nature pictures, I just feel peace and relax the mind. I love visiting the natural environment and enjoy the peace of nature. The sound that the river makes, the feeling that when the wind is blowing around. The reason I choose this image is because it grabbed my attention as I was researching the pictures, I found this one to be the beauty. Nature is so beautiful and I think I am so crazed into nature.

Beauty is all about how you look at both yourself and the things around you, and how much love or care you have for it and the way that influences you or someone else. Life and the consequences of the things humans do are often shoved aside and ignored because we don’t know or care about what would happen if it was gone or different. Seeing this landscape, a shining example of what can be created from nothing with just a bit of care and love, and knowing what would happen if there wasn’t or couldn’t be that care and love prompts a deeper reflection into the other issues plaguing human life and the things we do to ourselves and others as a way of standing out or being different. The photographer didn’t have to change anything about the image to make it appear pretty or appealing to the eyes, just as humans shouldn’t for the same response.

The picture I selected represents natural beauty. I enjoy everything that this picture features, the fact that the photographer took this after it rained makes some of the colors stand out.  This photo also represents the beauty of the circle of life. The dead tree laying on the ground helps to provide for countless other organisms. This photograph also shows of several aspects of nature that come together to form a beautiful image.

To me, beauty comes from within. You could have the most beautiful face in the world but if your soul is ugly then what the outside looks like does not matter. A kind heart means so much more than a pretty face. This painting represents that idea because it does not show the girls face, it just shows how warm her heart is, how it's leaking out of her and brightening the dark around her

Everyone has any form of beauty within them. Beauty is happiness. You can describe beauty in many different ways.
When you look at a person outside you, see beautiful makeup, flawless complexion, beautiful eyes, and gorgeous hair. But when you look at a little bit deeper, you'll find your true meaning for what beauty means to you and for all of us it is different. It is different for each individual.

My idea of beauty is anything or anyone with the ability to show their true selves and also with an appreciation of their surroundings and current standing. Beauty doesn't have to be something that looks nice, it can be a trait that shows authencity and confidence. I chose this lake with the mountains because not only that it looks nice, but people can see it in it's true form and such beauty will leave people in shock and awe. Not being harmed or tainted by the outside's world's problems.

Pearson, S. (2015, July 15). Land of my people [photograph].

When I think of "beauty," I immediately envision natural landscapes and environments. To me, the earth is the purest form of beauty. Humans don't impress me as much due to their fake, curated presentation to the world. The earth was formed without influence from the human eye or perception.

The photograph I selected is actually from my personal library of photos. My high school senior class trip in 2015 was to Europe and one of the main countries we visited was Ireland. My visit to Ireland, especially in the region of County Cork, was an honor as I was able to visit the same regions where my great-grandmother and her family resided before coming to the United States.

Gazing out onto the emerald mountains as they stretched for miles was an unbelievable experience. Simply put, it was breathtaking. You feel like a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things. The landscape of Ireland remains mostly undeveloped and untouched by human hands, which made interacting with the people and learning of their way of life outside of the city (like farming, livestock herding, etc) even more fascinating.

I choose this image to represent beauty to me because of her hair. Beauty is all about embracing who you are & everything that comes with that. Growing up, I always put chemicals in my hair to make it straight. It wasn’t until my little sister went natural that I decided to also. When I cut my hair for the first time and saw my natural curls, I was embarrassed. I was scared about what others would say, I would get nervous about my curls not setting right, I was self-conscious about how short it was due to how much shrinkage I had. It wasn’t until recently that I learned to love my curls and everything that comes with it. Following my theme that I picked for my personal image journal, representation, I didn’t grow up seeing black women rocking their natural hair or embracing it. I feel like subconsciously, it always made me feel like my natural hair was inferior. In learning to love my hair, I found a new appreciation and love for myself also. And I think that’s beautiful.

I define beauty by the way something or someone is formed/put together. What you find appealing in your eyes may not be appealing to someone else's. I am using this flower as an example. It could be the slightest tilt of a peddle that can make it beautiful. I personally find this flower beautiful because of the way the colors blend together. I also like how the peddles are not all the same, they are different shapes and sizes which makes it very unique.

I find this image beautiful not only because I like how the photographer managed to capture the wave just as it began to curl, but also timed it so that the light played off of the sunset in a manner that allowed the colors to be captured in the motion of the water.  I found the juxtaposition of the dark trees framed in the background to be an interesting contrast to the brightly colored foreground. I also found it intriguing that the curl of the wave framed the silhouette so perfectly.  This also captured my idea of beauty because it appears almost otherworldly.

Beauty is just how you look on the outside but on how you are in the inside like an amazing personality , confidence and just a beautiful soul. I know it sounds like a cliché but its true. Beauty is something you can't define but it ensembles knowing who herself/himself is. Beauty is something grows into because you who you are and what you can become.

My idea of beauty is friendship. This picture represents that because it is four children holding hands. Friendship is beauty because it is accepting another person based on who they are without judgment. The image represents this by showing the children in shadow so their sex and race can’t be determined. This is essential to friendship because it is not what is on the outside but what is on the inside is the true beauty.

One idea of beauty or what I classify as beautiful is handwriting. Now, I am by no means a sloppy handwriter, my handwriting is decent but definitely could use some work on. One thing that I just find beautiful or aesthetically pleasing to me is handwriting. Sometime when im taking notes, one of my letters that I write just leave me going "woah" or "amazing!". The size of the letter, the way it is written, and the color all contribute to the aesthetic for me. This picture in particular, hits all of those targets, especially the top portion. It is legible, clear, perfectly spaced, and perfect size is a beautiful paragraph on a paper and leaves me awestruck.

Beauty is soothing. Whether it's physical or mental, beauty is the aspect that makes me feel pleased or happy about whatever it is I'm interacting with. I chose this photograph not only because it was taken by the incredible Jimmy Chin, but also because nature is the most beautiful thing to me. Whether it's the breathtaking views it offers, the feeling you get when breathing in fresh air after feeling sad or anxious, or the efficiency of the complex systems that help keeping us and our planet going, there's beauty to be found everywhere in nature.
