_The Design
The prompt "In Your Hue" inspired us to create a space where people can explore and embrace their true identities in the three "Galactic Gallery" rooms.
- The Authenticity, Honesty, and Transparency Room offers letters to ourselves, encouraging self-reflection.
- The Personal Growth Room includes messages for graduates and advice for continuing students, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences.
- Lastly, the Follow Your Heart and Personal Integrity Room showcases famous figures who stood up to injustice, inspiring visitors to act with courage and integrity.
