The Land of 10,000 Lakes has been a way for me to connect with the water in Minnesota. Water makes up much of Minnesota. It’s coastline is more than that of the states of California, Florida and Hawaii combined.
Minnesota is my new home and this project has given me an opportunity to explore one of the reasons we chose to move to Minnesota – it’s vast number of lakes. Growing up in Virginia Beach, my life was always tied to water and deciding to move to the Midwest was one of the hardest decisions I have made. Minnesota’s lakes have allowed me to bridge my life on the East Coast with my new life in the Midwest.
This project is a way for me to explore what the water means to me and the people of Minnesota.
