“What can I do? Be the Change.”
In 2022, the UN has estimated that 345 million people around the world are facing acute food insecurity. That’s almost equivalent to the entire population of the United States, and hunger has only worsened with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. When finished, this interactive public sculpture will find its home at PAR-Projects and will serve as a free little food pantry for Northside neighbors.
Dizyre Gordon is a Cincinnati local and Hughes High School freshman.
