The Weight of Ignorance
I use digital art combined with photo editing to mix my personal interpretation and intention with reality. Using realistic backgrounds to convey ideas makes them tangible and vivid to the audience. Many negative outcomes of our classed social structure are overlooked or ignored, and I want my work to bring awareness to these adversities and ultimately empathy that evokes self-awareness about their own actions. Our brutal competition to the top creates chaos and scarring along the way, and we should look pause a while and look back, remembering our morality, existence, the awareness that makes us human.
