I chose this poem because it spoke to me and created a very striking image in my head. I honestly thought I was going to do a poem about downtown, but I thought this poem was really beautiful so I decided on this one instead. It was nice that it got picked, but I didn't think it was going to be due to the fact that it's not explicitly about the city of Syracuse.

I used a combination of computer graphics with traditional media. I don't usually use pen, but I thought it would work for this project so that's when I started to use it more. I think I was able to successfully mix traditional media with digital. So in the end, I think my work helped me grow a lot.
