Lifted was a creative presentation of the strength and interconnectivity of the Cornell community with hundreds of balloons on the Arts Quad, each dedicated by a Cornellian to another Cornellian who has lifted their spirits. With my time coming to a close at Cornell, Lifted was the culmination of my gratitude for all the university had provided me in my undergraduate education. As the creator and organizer of the project, I completed all its branding and graphic designs and coordinated its one-day installation, which captured the attention of the university and inspired a greater sense of community.
