Sitting on a wooden bed of screws and rubber bands, UF anthropology junior Van Truong, 20, scans over an incomplete 6 foot by 8 foot Mona Lisa art piece at the Pop-Up Culture event on the Plaza of the Americas on Oct. 14, 2015. Truong, who helped put the event together, opened her project to all students at the event to gather “inspiration from other people who approach art and life differently.”
