If you could "grow" a positive quality in your fellow humans and in the world, what would you choose?

Students were asked to design and illustrate a package of metaphorical "seeds" that, when planted, would encourage positive change and raise awareness. Each piece involves some form of plant symbolism to help carry the idea of growth and transformation.

There are some steps on the back of each piece that you can take if you'd like to nurture any of these qualities in yourself!

This project is funded by an endowment gift to support The Deborah and Kenneth Novack Creative Citizens Series at CCA, an annual series of public programs focused on creative activism.
