Art Instillation, Des Moines IA (2020)
The Dream Cube was an art instillation designed to bring awareness to youth homelessness in Iowa, spearheaded by the incredible Kub Stevens and supported by Group Creatives. I was brought in as an additional artist to strengthen the narrative aspect of the instillation and make it more approachable to the greater Des Moines and Iowa community.
I worked with the youth at YSS to integrate their stories into the Dream Cube. I also adapted the art for press release and advertisement around Des Moines. More information about the Dream Cube and its impact can be found here:
