Her photo shows a group of dolls — depicting people of different ethnicities, disabilities and generations — holding hands and encircled around a globe.
On the globe is an eye-catching yellow heart with the words, “Even though we are all different in our own unique ways – together we can change the world.”
The photo project offers a message of hope for generations to unite to make a difference in today’s world.
“I will change the world by helping create unity and bring people together,” Crow said in a news release. “Even though we are all different and unique in our own ways, we can change the world together.”
Crow’s entry exemplified the theme of this year’s competition, which requested applicants to create a project that shows how they would change the world, the release said.
Her photo project leaves audiences struck by a sense of inspiration to place differences aside and come together.
Along with the national title, Peyton received a $200 young artist scholarship for her hard work and dedication, according to a Comal ISD news release.
