A group of CEE students recently participated in Canstruction, a charity event showcasing sculptures by local architects and engineers using canned food, which is then donated to local food banks.
The students include (from left) Roxana Hernandez, Kofi Inkabi, Doug Wahl, Pedro Santos Vieira and Seulkee Lee.
They constructed their opus from 1,000 tuna and 1,500 salmon cans and named it “Blowing away the hunger blues,” a tribute to the people of New Orleans and the power of their rich cultural heritage to overcome the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.
“The waterspout symbolizes the flood that brought destruction,” says Vieira, “and the saxophone rising from it symbolizes the rebirth of New Orleans.”
