The benefits of collaborating on art projects are the freedom to bounce ideas back and forth, and the chance to see an idea differently. The challenges that you would face are that you might not always agree on an idea, and that your own personal ideas might not get used in the final product. Doris Salcedo uses her work to rescue a memory, and by that i think that she means that she wants to convey the feelings that a certain memory holds. Our work was an attempt to rescue a memory because we wanted to somehow preserve the memory of rising back up from being put down, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or something else.

One of the benefits of working with someone else is that there are more people so therefore you have more people to help with ideas and the project itself. The challenges are that if you have some problems talking to and getting along with other people, you may have some trouble talking in front of them and helping them brainstorm. In a way, i think our project was kinda an attempt to rescue a memory because I always had someone there to help me pick up my broken pieces when i was down and this reminded me a lot of that!
