Ok, I will explain. Please keep scrolling.
The only things that matter breathe: so goes the saying that I chose to hang from the Friendship Bridge over the Boise River.

Our class was asked to create Stefan-Sagmeister-style typographic art installations that emulated his project called Things I have learned in my life so far. If you have not seen it, check it out - it's very cool stuff. We then documented it all in a book, which we titled “Unpasteurized.” Each student made three installations, one of which had to be in a public place and set up on a particular day so we could all go see it as a class. (Sidenote: I think that if it is outdoors, it should be called "Outside-stallation art") Out of my three, this is the one I designated for our class tour. In the photo posted below, you'll see my classmates all posing with the banner.

Also, if you look closely you will see that the letters of the word 'breathe' are cut out of the paper (held together by packaging tape). The rest of the words are painted on, and the whole thing was a single sheet of butcher paper, 51 feet long by four feet tall. Planning, constructing, and hanging this monster was not easy to do, but it came together just about perfectly in the end.
       The wind somehow knew exactly which word to highlight for the picture.
