MAGWD Capstone: You are Here

Highlighting moments of discovery and connection in public parks to illustrate the importance of community-oriented natural environments

You are Here is a visual exploration led by the belief that interactions with parks inform one’s future relationships with nature. How do we foster these relationships with care and appreciation for safe, community-oriented spaces inspiring curiosity and reflection? By emphasizing micro-moments of connection between people, places, plants, and creatures, You are Here invites you to take a closer look at the world around you.
