cyd's piece is text collaged on top of a flip flop sandal. the poem centers on definitions of the term "filipina." the fetishized filipina (by whom? mostly icky western men!).

marlon made a true 3-d sudokku cube. he calls them surrdoku cubes with a nod to the surrealists. you solve the 3-d puzzle and the numbers correspond to the lines of the poem.

our first assignment was to make a response poem to the film i showed on a chilly monday night, Un Chien Andalou. Willa constructed three collage boxes which corresponded with the three episodes of the film.
