Michelle Obama lego portrait

“Inspired”

You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it’s important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.
— Michelle Obama
Description: This is a LEGO mosaic of Michelle Obama, created as a commission for the Family Health Center in Kalamazoo, MI (Alcott  Campus).
Inspiration: Through her contagious positivity and uplifting messages, Michelle Obama is an inspiration to many. If that wasn’t inspiration enough, I was further inspired by the many details in the beautiful image (captured by the photographer Platon) depicted in the mosaic. I really enjoyed working on this project!
