Call to Action

Artist’s Statement: This piece explores the conversations around change but the lack of action from ourselves and others.

We see the hardship and we see the despair, so why is it that we claim life can be fair? The truth of the matter is: life isn’t. In fact, we are all so different.

Rather than converse, why aren’t we acting? Why is it that statistics are just that... statistics? Instead, we need to react!

Why is it that we call for action but hardly act? Why aren’t we helping rather than disputing the facts?

We are so consumed by the material that we forget about those without materials. We are so stuck to our phones in hopes to level up, that we forget to send our friend a care package to help them move up.

I put it in terms so that you could understand but clearly you aren’t getting the message. Maybe the Wi-Fi is down, should I retry sending?
