What role does art play in your life as a Davidson student? Do you see art playing a role in your life post-Davidson?
Art is something that allows me to be myself completely, a way for me to get rid of worries and time. Even if I can’t pursue a career related to the arts, I can definitely see arts as a life-long interest.

Favorite sculpture on campus and why?
The one in front of Wall [Wind Sculpture (SG) I by Yinka Shonibare (2018)]. For some reason it appears very encouraging to me.

Traditional Chinese paintings.

If you could have a meal with anyone dead or alive who would it be and why?
I would love to have a meal with Iris van Herpen. Her designs are mind-blowing and like nothing I’ve seen before.
