  #artAndInterviewsArts and Interviews is a personal project where I approach people on Instagram and ask them a series of questions. I take photos they have of themselves on their Instagram and make it into a piece of artwork. The art is then inspired by the interview. Full stories can be found at: www.instagram.com/plus44.ends

Winner at Facebook and RLNI hackathonMeta
