"Power" Feb Challenge: Movement, temptation. 11x8 Pen and ink. I went in a different direction for this project than you would usually expect from the word "movement." I imagined a woman from the Black Panther Party with headlines of the deaths of black citizens overwhelming her. I included names of present-day victims of police brutality to show how the abhorrent problem, and the movements inspired by it, has continued for decades and is still with us today. The temptation to give up to the continual devastating news threatens to consume her, but messages of perseverance, though seemingly small, continue to hold her up.
