I won a DHS.

My project was called “Truth Box”. I printed the DHS box on card stock and folded it into a little box and wrote “Do Not OPEN” on the top (like pandora’s box). Then I collected 50 truths from my acquaintances on little cards that said “The truth is…” and some people told me really personal things so it was really touching. Then I printed 50 truths about myself on the lining of the box. My commentary was about how my generation is grasping at anything that looks like truth (reality tv, formspring, Ron Paul) even if its not actually truth. And how we value “truth” over real virtues or morality.

Its hard to explain but it was a really cool little thing.
