shift

 

Assignment: To describe what shift means to me and how I interact with it at Parsons.

 

Shift in my opinion constitutes a change of some sort, whether it be physical or emotional. A shift or change can have scale it can be something personal like coming out or transitioning genders or it can be social such as picking a new leader for our nation. Personally I am experiencing a shift because I moved from California so everything here is a little new and different. For instance I’m not used to the shift in seasons or the humidity so it took me a week or so to adapt to the weather. Adaptation is a key way we deal with shift and helps us to cope with changes in our environment.

Shift is key to my studies at Parsons to the extent that art is a type of documentation of change. Every artist goes through or tracks changes in society or their emotions and in their own way they record this through art. At Parsons we track shifts in the environment and the design market to be up to date a relevant on what we are making. Parsons also puts an emphasis on the environment and having the least environmental impact as possible. Climate change is a shift we all have to deal with but Parsons is stepping forward and embracing this shift
