Ideas worth spreading

Finding Creativity: A Solo Journey to a Connected Place

Oren Sherman • TEDxProvincetown

When we give up our dreams and conform to other people’s expectations, why does it seem to make everybody happy except us? In his work at Elkus Manfredi Architects, Oren Sherman crafts strategic narratives and original artworks, creating a multilevel, subliminal experience that resonates as an unspoken message. His work and life experiences have led Oren to believe that others may need to conform to a persistent idea of reality—but that doesn’t mean that you must.
