The piece I chose to work on in the Half Baked Art Collaboration is named Yellow Brick Road in Rough Terrain. When I first saw it I was reminded of The Wizard of Oz. I learned that many refugees in those camps arrived as young adults and ended up as grandparents without ever leaving the confinements.

The piece that I chose to work with on this collaborative art project is Silver Specks. It depicts what appears to be a brightly colored road, dotted with silver, leading out of a brown, wasted, barren landscape. As I scrolled through the collection of art pieces made at the Kakuma Refugee Camp, I came across many that struck me. But this one spoke to me the most.

I chose this piece of art, called “Full pink sun half a yellow sun,” to add to because from the moment I looked at it, I could already see the many similarities between the shapes and colors used in the artwork and videos of the Kakuma refugee camp that I watched.
I can see landscape and made one like the one here.
The balls are like planets, here in Kakuma it is like being in another world from the rest of the world and the sun is in the middle because it is so so hot here.
