Errors of identification usually spring from thus approaching all ethnicities...
...problematize one’s physical and emotional situation. Martin began studying art in high school, where he experimented with painting and digital media. In the fall of his freshman year at Harvard, he dove into the arts scene, contributing to a show for a class in the Visual and Environmental Studies Department with works of mixed media. He quickly realized that creating art was the only path for him, but one which can require a significant amount of initiative for a solo artist interested in creating larger-scale works. While Martin praises Harvard’s willingness to support...
