Weston Teruya’s mixed media drawings are each inspired by a space on the Highland campus. Teruya states, “These spaces exude a sense of calm, healing, and openness: a rooftop overlooking the city toward the Bay (From the rooftop across the skyline), the bench at the foot of the front lawn looking up to the historic wing (Breathing the tall green), and one of the two water fountains at the side of the historic wing (Among the many waters). Each of these three spaces then inspired other thematic references that helped to guide the compositions and elements within them: the buildings and healing body, the natural landscape and medicinal plants, and water and cleansing as a healing
element.”
