These images were part of a proposal to make a site-specific work in Brooklyn Prospect Charter School’s courtyard. A main source of the project’s inspiration was Paul Rogat Loeb’s book, The Impossible Will Take a Little While (2004); an anthology of writers who discuss ways to overcome adversity and create positive social change. During a one day event, excerpts from this book were to be read by teachers and students, one at a time, at the center of the space. Thirty handmade flowers (each holding a quote by an author at its center) were also designed to be in the space. A speaker is installed fifty feet from the reader on the railing of the school’s entrance overlooking the courtyard, so those entering the school can also hear, and be close to, the voice of the reader. The project’s goal was to spark new conversations as a way to cultivate greater hope and stronger connections within a school community.
