So many times this year, I've woken up from my sleep on a Canadian sleep cycle in my Indian city, unable to distinguish dream from reality, or reality from technology. My paradigms of reality are beginning to blend into each other. But at least I’m not jet lagged!

Pandemic distance can't stop us from learning. Foundation year allowed me to look at art and design in a more holistic way and think more critically.

The community of students and faculty I have come in contact with this year have given me the courage to openly accept myself as a nonbinary person, and envision my future within the QTBIPOC art-activism world. I feel very free; and empowered to continue growing, thinking and collaborating with others.

My Foundation year has helped me become more comfortable and confident in my creativity and given me space to grow as an artist. Although there have been bumps in the road, the non-stop stress isn't that bad when you can make new friends…oh wait.

This Foundation year has proved that you can feel both trapped and free at the same time. Trapped at my desk making art, but making art nevertheless. Finding freedom through new creative pathways never before experienced. Strange, beautiful, and challenging all at once.

Surprisingly, taking time to look at your work and think about how another would experience it can help you improve your craft.

"Interesting" is the first word that pops into mind when describing my first year as a university student. It has definitely changed me in ways that I could have never imagined, giving me the time and headspace to listen to myself.

This year has helped shape me into the artist I have been longing to become. I know in my heart that I am on the right path to more self-discovery. I look forward to what my future brings in the next 3 years.

The last eight months have led me here;

the next eight months will lead me there.

I am thankful for this time of study.

I am thankful for new understandings.
