“Untitled, Collage” by Rocio Tiu Osorio, Hope High School

The collage uses clippings from magazines, books, and the Gaspee Proclamation. The blue at the bottom of the collage represents the ocean. It was taken from a children’s book, and it includes the quotation “I crawl to the darkest, dreariest place I know.” The ocean and what happened there - the burning of the ship - was dark and dreary. The ships on top of the blue ocean represent the Gaspee and the boats of the colonists who followed it. The collage is trying to show how difficult the time of the burning of the Gaspee and the Revolution was for colonists and those fighting for freedom.
