Ordinary Joy- Senior Capstone
Ordinary Joy is all around us.
At life’s most difficult moments, I have clung to small joys to keep me afloat.
Sitting in the sun, listening to birds sing, the smell of coffee.
Being more mindful of these small joys can guide us through grief, sorrow, pain, and heartbreak.
This project is a small collection of my own ordinary joys as well as those of friends and peers over the past few months.
At the Design and Visual Communications Exhibition, each person was asked to take a “joy” from the wall to take home. Each scroll of paper had one of forty illustrations of an ordinary joy submitted to me by friends, peers, or that I had journaled over the course of the semester
This project was inspired by my favorite poem “The Orange” by Wendy Cope.
