I'm not one who makes a lot of commentary on politics or social problems through art. I think we see enough negativity and spectacle regarding that in the news and, frankly, my personal opinions about politics and social issues aren't usually as dramatic or intense as a piece of art needs to be. I'm not one who usually gets "up in arms" over something...
This piece is based on the recent Trayvon Martin case, and more so than me trying to express the outrage over the legality of the thing or the controversy... I wanted to create a piece that simply depicted the tragedy of the event. No matter how you slice it, a young man lost his life in a tragic event. That's all I wanted to say...that's all I wanted to show...
The controversy is important...the coming decisions will have wide-spread implications, but I wanted this piece to speak to the young man himself and the horrible tragedy that befell him, not the reactions of millions upon millions of people..
Best to his family and everyone involved...let's get this figured out
