Concentration Statement
My concentration deals with the concept of historical disconnection. That if we don't sit back and realize what we are doing, history is bound to repeat itself. I created pieces that reflect our past, the mistakes, the good, accomplishments. People tend to forget that we tear each other part because of something so small as the color of our skin. We killed thousands of innocent lives that could've changed the world we live in today. As a society we have accomplished extraordinary things such as, being the 1st country to land on the moon we stood up and ended segregation. I want people to feel something when they look at my paintings... something that reminds us of our humanity. We learn from what we see and hear and it is our responsibility to recognize our past for what it is in order to create a better future.
