The moment has come. It is time to step into the new world. In our academic pursuits, we have adapted to unexpected circumstances and managed to create despite challenging times. Remember this feeling and never forget yourself and your art. This issue celebrates the amazing works created by the Class of 2022. As always, we are proud to give the artists of the School of Visual Arts the chance to publish their work and amplify their voices. To our new adventures! Irene

A SMALL S OFF The past few years have taught us that art fulfills, that art is a combination of emotions and can be uniquely expressed in different mediums. The Visual Opinion Team, alongside its valued contributors, is proof that every artist puts their specific voice and talents into their work. Because of this, we had an incredible range of perspectives on a single subject, issue after issue. We hope the graduating class will maintain their originality and passion and be true to their art as they enter the world. As artists, we all know how important references are for creating; therefore, we thank all the alumni who have left their legacy with us here at SVA. You will be the inspiration for future students. The sky’s the limit and you can achieve any dream you have. Signing Off, Marcela
