This project is to raise awareness and urge people in
Newark to get tested for lead poisoning. Because of the rising levels of lead
found in Newark’s water pipes, residents are forced to make careful decisions

activity, this project invites people to interact with these projections and
help spread the word and inform others about lead exposure.

College Tuition Rising, Spring 2020
Almost everyone experiences stress to some extent, and
college students are certainly no exception. It’s known that college is a time
where stress is presented every day and that the new amount of responsibility
can be overwhelming. Many students report dealing with varying levels of stress
throughout college for a number of different reasons. From college itself, plus
homework, deadlines, family, work, finances, and over all with life, stress
affects students’ physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. From
research and collective data, STRESS: College Edition represents and
acknowledges the scope and severity of stress that college students experience.
While it provides information, it also attempts to offer help for students to
cope.
In the installation College Tuition Rising, it represents the increase of tuition from 2000 to 2020. The constant worrying about affordance makes finances the most common stressor among college students. Looking how the bar graph is getting higher and higher informs the viewer of how higher education is becoming more unreachable to students by the year. Its either causing them to stress or causing them to miss a year or so of school because they aren’t able to afford it.
