Artist Statement

This piece represents the emotions one may feel when confronting or dealing with discrimination. The front of the piece illustrates a three dimensional chair which is isolated and lonely in the middle of a cold room. The room is constructed in two dimensions but perceived as a three dimensional space. The back of the piece is open and free persuading you to step out of the room. The piece is a transition from lonely and isolated to free and confident.

Discrimination is an idea that is learned and passed on to our children. If, individually, we can break ourselves free from this two dimensional perception, then, ultimately, we will be free.
