Designed by Reyyan Bagdat from Sheridan College as a part of the 2024 PAVE Gala T-Shirt Design Challenge, sponsored by Studio Lourdes.

Artist Statement: When I first read the challenge brief, it immediately evoked the image of a gear-like system that runs smoothly when all the unique pieces come together. With my design, I wanted to remind the PAVE design community that each of us is an integral part of this system who creates wonders when we get together. While the design abstractly forms the shape of a gear, it actually depicts a round table where individuals from different backgrounds come together to create meaningful connections. This symbolizes the synergy between designers and partners, showing how they move and produce together like a well-oiled machine when given the right environment and the opportunity. The puzzle at the center of the table embodies the idea that great outcomes are achieved when people bring their unique pieces to the table. The design highlights the power of connection, communication, and teamwork that PAVE fosters, which leads to the most impactful projects, collaborations, and partnerships.
