Artist Statement: My mobile represents the different events that make up 2020. Each house represents a different issue;like the negative effects of the pandemic on a social standpoint, BLM Vs ALM, the positive impact the pandemic had on the world, and the way the pandemic impacted milestones like graduation, prom,etc. I represented the different topics through collages of images and paint. Through the multiple houses I wanted to create a sort of period piece that gives a look into what people with different views and experiences are going through in this pandemic, and to show that we are all connected despite our differences. Each house was made with recycled and found materials.
