Art Description
"Paying it Forward" is an homage to our civic-minded ATSU community. Our school's extensive community engagement distinguishes us from other dental schools and I wanted to illustrate that in the form of a ladder, a tool that represents progress, initiation and rite of passage. Visually, I was inspired by my instrument cassette at the clinic.
