\n
As a master’s student in art at Cal State Fullerton, Teresita de la Torre found her inspiration and herself. With the encouragement of Assistant Professor of Art Rebecca Campbell, Teresita turned a sun-damaged shirt, found discarded near the U.S.-Mexico border, into the catalyst for a life-changing project.
\n\nEvery day for an entire year, she wore the shirt, exploring the possibilities of who might have worn it in the past and under what conditions. As the shirt physically deteriorated, her passion for giving voice to the immigrant experience grew in the body of work she created around the experience.
\n\nShe hopes that future CSUF art students will have a chance to find their inspiration as she did — as the campus transforms spaces with the support of generous donors.
