Reaching Space
Reaching
Space
By Katelyn Wang
Reaching Space is an acrylic on canvas piece inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." This piece looks into the transient yet lucid nature of personal aspirations---or how we perceive of our futures. It explores this space in time that works as a factory for dreams, fears, and faith.
Katelyn Wang is an artist from San Diego, California, where she grew up painting alongside various community organizations in the Convoy Asian Cultural District and Murals of La Jolla project. At Yale, she co-directs Bright Spaces, a public arts organization that works with local businesses and grassroots groups to fulfill the visions of today's leaders and dreamers. She enjoys using art and culture as an impetus for economic development and political power.
