Black History Month
It’s not a moment. It’s a mindset.
Not just yesterday, not just today, not just tomorrow, but every day, we celebrate the creativity, courage, and resilience of Black trailblazers and changemakers. Because Black History, Black Present, and Black Future are so much more than a moment in time.

This art piece depicts the uniquely regional african giraffe struggling with multiplicitous expression in the world while liberating African birds and butterflies as symbolism of peace and freedom from the constraints of a seemingly systemic black and white world.

The Design of Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe exemplifies concepts of “connectiveness” and “oneness” by utilizing a thin and transparent membrane of glass to relay the tension and delicate separation between public and private. The design speaks to how nature and the built environment can and should co-exist together in an inclusive manner, even if separated by a ‘thin’ membrane.
