For Joely Ramos ’25 (Illustration BFA), Window into Worlds is both a title and a philosophy. Her ArtWalk collection features 26 mixed-media collages exploring interconnectivity and the duality of home, shaped by her practice as both a kabbalist and a Buddhist. Reflecting on her four years at MICA, Joely describes the experience as transformative, filled with lifelong friendships, creative experimentation, and deep connections with faculty and peers. “I did everything, experienced everything, was part of everything,” she says. The city itself has influenced her art in unexpected ways, reminding her that with an open heart, true connection is always possible.
