This series of works documents the 800 hours I spent at RISD Summer Session. Every morning began with a splash of cold water to wake myself up, and then I rushed to class like the wind. After classes, endless assignments awaited, and sometimes I wouldn’t return to the dorm until 2 a.m. The intense workload was accompanied by constant brainstorming with my classmates. Conversations often spiraled into nonsense, and in those awkward moments, bursts of genuine, hearty laughter would erupt, capturing the joy and energy that sustained us through the demanding schedule.
