Racism: Equality is shown in my work by the large text box exclaiming “We are all just people” as well as a yin-yang sign.
It is important to recognize that we are all human and deserve to be treated the same way.
Prejudice: My painting has a small purple box with an ‘x’ though a sheep and text reading “No Sheep” There is also a large question mark that demands the viewer to “question the way we do things”. In this course, I really began to appreciate all of the people in my life that are open to my differences and embraced me although I am different. So many people are never given a chance to really shine and are shut away from society, like the Ukrainians, Blacks or any other racial group judged as a whole. It makes me sick to hear about people treating each other like this; going out of their way to hurt one another… so stupid.
Discrimination: The last box on my painting as a man on a ladder yelling “HELLO? HELLO?” into the empty head of another man. Like this picture elaborated, people seem to have lost their minds, or rather personal train of thought, because it is apparently very easy to classify people and push them away. I bet if you sat down and really described the feeling of what it is like to feel shut out to the people that were either aware or unaware of being discriminatory, that they would feel some form of compassion and empathy for another human’s situation.
