2023 AQ "Tree of the Year", Winner: Shaily Baynes- Dawn Redwood
room 1 ECHOES
Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
Outside AB, Stands a tree, Where we as students often pass, Every day, it's a sight to see, A symbol of growth and memory.
Through the years, I've walked this path, Its branches reaching out, a familiar sight, Guiding my steps to class in the morning light.
At Aquinas College, it takes its place, A tree of knowledge, a warm embrace.
As I walk past, I find my place. Through the years, this tree has grown, And in my heart, its roots are sown. A witness to my journey, as time flies fast, Walking past this tree, while commuting to class.

Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that I believe does not get enough recognition. Although scoliosis can make people look and feel different, it does not change how they can live their lives. Scoliosis or not, we are all human and we are all beautiful.

The Ambulance
An ambulances siren driving by. Hearing the sound brings the thoughts of what happened? Is anyone badly injured? Are they going to live? I hope it's not someone I know.

The Binary Fairytale
My art explores the gender roles presented to us from childhood to young adulthood. I explore this through the lens of fairy tales and the treatment of fashion and gender within the stories (Cinderella, specifically). There is so much we are taught about fashion from a young age that sticks with us throughout our life regardless of our level of agreement with it. There is a very clear, traditional expectation of gender roles and fashion presented to us as children, and those roles affect us and our thinking at as young as three years of age. This is disheartening to me, especially in seeing how these harsh expectations affect the queer community. Here, I challenge the traditional expectations. I believe in freedom from gendered fashion.
