Featured photo from Dawson Through Your Lens

This week's photo contest winner is Diana Yadegaritootshami. She captioned her photo (taken in a DSU club space in the 2C hallway):

"Five days, 40 hours, and one shared vision. What started as just an empty wall turned into a space filled with colour, creativity, and real teamwork. We each brought our own ideas and energy, and somewhere between the paint, the long hours, and the laughter, we built stronger connections. Grateful for a team that made the process just as meaningful as the final result.

Design by: Diana Yadegaritootshami Team: Sharifa Cyrus-Jeffry, Sophie Franco Bilodeau, Chloé Anum, Diba Shahabi, Yiv Ratanak Simon, Danica Zampini, Atiyat Tarig, Majzoub Mohamed, Sophia Kolokolnikova, Kerina Kilanzi, Jowa Xu, Keanu Ramirez, Effie Polymenakos, Bo Yuan Gao, Jahmelle Samorah, Jean Louis."
