Dragonflies are the only insect that can synchronize all four wings and hover in mid-air and a swarm of fireflies can spontaneously synchronize their flashes. These two insects were chosen because they are the embodiment of how REACH was created – by all the parts in the community working together. And the ripple background was chosen as a metaphor for the ever-expanding positive change REACH will have to the larger community.

“A young man at a community meeting commented that my wooden flowers represent diversity to him – the flowers might all look very similar at first glance but they differ in sizes and shapes, just like us. His comment helped me to focus on how to best represent the collective effort that resulted in this impressive youth center.” – Joyce Hsu
