Lopez '08 creates 'confession booth'

|

/ The Dartmouth Staff To complete a project for her Figure Sculpture class, Jennifer Lopez '08 had lofty aspirations: She hoped to create an experience that would inspire dialogue on campus and provide students with an outlet to anonymously express their innermost thoughts and feelings. To execute this idea, Lopez designed and created an oversized rectangular booth that stood in the Hopkins Center for the Arts last week. According to her plan, students would enter the booth one at a time and write down "confessions" on a piece of paper, and she would then type these confessions and use them to cover the booth. The number of confessions exceeded the expected amount, prompting Lopez to keep the booth open for more two days than she had originally intended.
