49 This Place Nayela Ahmed I‘m a conceptual creative artist who has a passion for design. I graduated in the two year program Multimedia Design and Production at Lake Washington Institute of Technology. I’m enrolled with the Bachelors of Technology in Applied Design program here at LWIT. In memory of my grandmother’s house I created “The Place”. It has four components. Top piece is the abstract shape that resembles a staircase and reflects upon my life and memories. Bottom piece symbolizes music that gave me peace. Third piece is the garden. It is made out of lentils, sesame seeds, and turmeric. It represents culture, religion, (Islam), Indian food. Fourth piece that looks like columns symbolize abstract representation of the coconut trees in the garden. TOC
