During the Fall 2022 term, eleven students were enrolled in Introduction to Publication Design at Pace University, Dyson College of Art and Science, in the Masters in Publishing Program. An assignment asked each person to photograph things that inspired and helped them cope as the nation began to emerge from the COVID-19 global pandemic. The group and the professor reviewed the initial images and selected the ones published in this book. The comments accompanying each image are those of the photographer, some of which were edited for clarity.
