We Need Justice

This piece is inspired by the powerful fight against racial injustice which has swept over our country after the unjustifiable and terrible deaths of black citizens at the hands of police officers. I was deeply moved by the strength and force which continues to radiate from the Black Lives Matter Movement as well as its protests and I wanted to capture this in my work. The dimensions are 4ft x 4ft and the materials that I used were acrylic paint, construction paper, spray paint, cardboard, pen ink, and a wood board for my canvas. Both of the female figures are done in paint and the protest signs are cut out paper with handwritten slogans.

This can be shown through the hands, cutlery, flowers, and take out boxes resting on a table top composed of images of starving and impoverish children. The dimensions are 2ft x 4ft and the materials I used are acrylic paint, collage images, real take out boxes, and a plywood board for my canvas.
