This blanket, to me, is literally a symbol of peace. A peace offering that hopes to bring joy to the receiver, that in turn spreads love around them. I offer it with a most sincere welcome to your new life and wishes of comfort and happiness.

As an immigrant and woman of color myself, this project feels very personal to me. I want to truly communicate the idea of entering a new world, a new dimension almost, and learning to adapt to a new culture, lifestyle, language. Beyond that, I also want to visualize both giving and taking which is represented through the water. We must work together as a community in this world, we must learn to depend on each other, normalize asking for help when needed, but also learn to give back for our loved ones. It's a powerful cycle of care and love. The art feels unafraid, and purposefully loud to make the immigrant and refugee community feel heard and seen. I created a blanket I wish me and my family would have had when arriving in this new world, a colorful story that celebrates our journey and sacrifice. I believe design can change the world, using design for good. That can be one wall at a time, one design at a time, one canvas at a time, one blanket at a time, and inspiring one human at a time.

The Better Together blanket is inspired by the power of unity and diversity seen within humanity. The colors are an ode to the range of skin tones represented by different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Better Together emphasizes the strength in community and by existence opposes division. It is meant to be inclusive, yet set apart. It does not negate individual identities for the sake of unity, but rather celebrates it.

Я очень рада и горжусь тем, что являюсь частью проекта «Welcome Blankets». Будучи сама иммигранткой, я помню тот момент, когда ты покидаешь свою семью, свою страну, все, к чему ты привык, и начинаешь новую жизнь ... Этот момент пугающий и в то же время волнующий. Также я знаю, что после этого момента впереди будет столько хорошего - планы, мечты, новые возможности, предстоящие приключения и новые друзья! Надеюсь, мое одеяло принесет радость, улыбки и удачу новым владельцам!

I am very pleased and proud to be a part of the “Welcome Blankets” project. Being an immigrant myself, I remember this moment when you are leaving your family, your country, everything that you are used to and starting a new life ... This moment is scary and exciting at the same time. I also know that after that moment there will be so many great things ahead - plans, dreams, new opportunities, upcoming adventures and new friends! I hope my blanket will bring joy, smiles and good luck to its new owners!

I often use the word HUMAN in my work as I just feel like people are quiet desensitised now and tend to not see the human or emotional side of people. Labels and stereotypes have become so intensified which seems ironic as the world becomes more global and connected, yet we seem to want to separate ourselves even more. No matter your race, gender or sexuality you see, you smell, you taste, you feel emotion… that makes you human, that gives you the right to be treated as an equal and for no other human to be better, worse or to decide the manner in which you should be treated.

Combinando sus raíces venezolanas con su experiencia personal como inmigrante en EEUU, Oswaldo Rodriguez traduce sus memorias personales, tradición y herencia ancestral en potentes mensajes visuales. Para Rodriguez, la energía del color no tiene fronteras, y con él teje un regalo universal para un receptor desconocido: “All are welcome” (Todos son bienvenidos). La palabra “tranqui”, un guiño a la expresión latina usada para dar soporte al compañero, así como el uso de la flor como referencia al acto del obsequio, canalizan la esencia visual de Rodriguez en este cálido y energizante mensaje.

Combining his Venezuelan roots with his personal experience as a US immigrant, Oswaldo Rodríguez translates deeply personal memories, tradition, and ancestral heritage into vibrant messages. For Rodríguez, the energy of color knows no borders, through which he weaves a universal gift to an unknown recipient: “All are welcome”. The word “tranqui”, a nod to the Hispanic saying used to give support to one's peers, and the use of the flower as a symbol of a gift, channels Rodríguez's visual essence into a warm and energizing message.

For this design I have used the visuals that are commonly found in fluffy blankets, which are flowers and animal prints. These visuals are often made up of unexpected colours, and overwhelming designs. However, they are a symbol in ethnic households and function as blankets that keep you warm and cosy whether it is in the winter, or in a room with a high air-con. For this design I have taken on a contemporary approach of combining all the overwhelming visuals found in these various blanket designs such as animal print and florals. As an outcome, this acts as a tribute to these designs commonly found on blankets.
