This piece is commentary on the exploitation of the working class by the rich. Each plate represents an industry: agriculture, education, fast fashion, plumbing, and electrical engineering. The hands eagerly reach for the plates, animalistic and not using utensils. I chose body parts for the main focus of each plate, such as spines for farmers as they often bend down for long hours and develop back issues. I chose fingers for the fast fashion plate as people will get their fingers caught in the sewing machines, the blood blending in with the fabrics and cloth. Each plate has features that are cut out, which I layered with cardboard to create a 3D effect. I chose to capture the final image with a tablecloth, creating a physical table of plates and hands. The end result is gory and disturbing, reminiscent of our reality.

Creativity is using art as a form of communication. It's storytelling in a way that captures audiences and creates a bridge between the artist and viewer. I use my creativity and art by using bright colors to draw in viewers to a deeper and more disturbing message.
