"The poem resonated with me and the feeling of separation from reality. I thought my style of augmented reality art would lend itself to depicting another dimension of identity. As a public artist, I seek to portray the identities of places and communities as I relate to them. With this piece, I hope to shine a light on the beautiful part of the collective identity that we all have access to. The vulnerable part of us that this poem speaks of is the same part that makes us more than human."

Thomas Masaveg began his art career as a pencil artist who blended plants and people into portraits. From there, he started to meet fellow artists and network with the local art community. Thomas quickly gained an interest in public art that has led to consistent projects in partnerships with nonprofits for community development. You can find his mural work at Cedar Lee Theater and he's currently preparing an augmented reality tour in collaboration with Campus District featuring sites along E. 22nd street like the former juvenile court building and CSU.
