A collection of creative animationIn an attempt to capture the spirit of Ithaca, Cole Stefan ’18 designed a painting called the “Ithaca Alphabet” that depicts the diversity of the city. The artwork became available for purchase from several vendors in Ithaca this August.
The painting includes one image for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet — including Cornell landmarks like the statue of Ezra Cornell and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. Other Ithaca geographic, cultural, and business icons such as the Ithaca Commons, Robert Treman State Park, and the Ithaca Farmer’s Market are also featured in the artwork.
“There’s a lot of community pride [in Ithaca], which is definitely something you need to do the alphabet,” he said. “[The painting contains] what I would think signifies Ithaca. People who have lived here for a long time might have a different opinion.”
