As part of a group project with fellow students from East Texas A&M, we collaborated with other students to fold a thousand paper cranes in honor of the Sadako Peace Memorial in Hiroshima, Japan. Inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki—a young girl who developed leukemia from the atomic bombing and famously folded cranes in hopes of recovery—our project was a gesture of peace, hope, and solidarity. Rather than simply donating the cranes, we also created a collaborative art piece on canvas, arranging the cranes in a beautiful and meaningful design to further express our message. This artwork was donated to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial as a symbol of our support for global peace and remembrance. In addition to helping lead the collaborative effort, I also designed the t-shirt logo for our group’s trip, which received an overwhelmingly positive response from the local community in Japan. The entire experience was deeply meaningful and emphasized the power of unity, compassion, and creative expression in honoring history and advocating for peace.
