At the center of the installation is a prison cell structure made from black PVC pipe, complete with a metallic silver-painted cardboard toilet and a narrow bed\u2013 stark reminders of confinement. Surrounding the cell are printed newspaper-style articles sharing the powerful personal stories of those who have endured incarceration and built meaningful lives afterward. Posters call for systemic change, highlighting harsh statistics, racial disparities, and the difficulty of reentry into society. Photographs of the individuals post-release serve as a contrast to their mugshots, showcasing their transformation and humanity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This project was created through an iterative design process that involved research, interviews, writing, fabrication, and layout design. Every visual and structural element was carefully considered to create both tension and empathy\u2013 inviting viewers to sit with the uncomfortable truths of incarceration while witnessing the potential of renewal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you move through this space, I invite you to pause. Take no more than a minute to sit across from the artist\u2013 a designer who has lived this reality\u2013 and reflect. A notebook is provided for you to leave your thoughts, whether affirming or critical, as part of this ongoing dialogue about justice, dignity, and the power of second chances.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b2b271 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9b2b271\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d5ac6a6 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1d5ac6a6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-348f63f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"348f63f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>WET PAINT<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USFCA Design &amp; Fine Arts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class of 2025<br \/>Senior Projects<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e2cacd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e2cacd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfca.edu\/arts-sciences\/programs\/undergraduate\/design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DESIGN<\/a><br \/><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcadesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Past Exhibitions<\/a><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-208992ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"208992ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfca.edu\/arts-sciences\/programs\/undergraduate\/fine-arts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FINE ARTS<\/a><br \/><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcafinearts\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-282b7af4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"282b7af4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/information\/\"><strong>INFORMATION<\/strong><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/exhibition\/\"><strong>EXHIBITION<\/strong><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/usfca.design\/2025\/directory\"><strong>DIRECTORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition Information Directory Miguel Rodriguez Pronouns: he\/himMajor: Designmiguelrodriguez.live Miguel Rodriguez is a designer from Tampa, Florida and a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco.
