"With my design I intend to use familiar elements from homes of different cultures as a way to evoke memories and commonalities and to build empathy and compassion between Angelenos. No matter our race, color or background we all desire the same comforts and love. Hatred and bigotry will have some thinking of those different from themselves as “other” and unworthy of these things, and even those without prejudice sometimes forget to lend a hand in the busy and stressful daily LA life, but we would all have someone who would miss us at home should we fall victim to violence." -- Cole Kinnear
