About Bodies

While working on this year’s publication, Christine and I noticed many examples of self-expression in work that was turned in. There also seemed to be a release from some of society’s pressures, as well as a greater sense of self-acceptance. This led us to title the issue “Bodies.”  This was one way to represent the ever changing differences that make individuals unique. We live in a dark and gray world, but our differences brings brightness to the world. “Bodies” not only represents our anatomy but serves as an outline for everything we go through. We aimed to point out that there’s no shame expressing who we are and sharing positive and negative experiences that make us who we are. This issue of Prism can remind us that we’re all made up of the same, basic components and that we’re in charge of who we want to be and how we want to be seen.
