DESCRIPTION

It's sickening seeing how others treat people based on their current position in life.

This piece, titled "Poverty Will Not Kill Me", reflects resilience in the face of adversity. The fragmented elements, including newspaper clippings, highlight the societal lens through which individuals experiencing poverty are often viewed—judged and reduced to stereotypes. The faceless figure represents the dehumanization that can occur when others perceive someone solely through their circumstances. However, the bright hues of green and yellow symbolize hope, growth, and determination to rise above.

This work conveys a powerful message: poverty does not define worth, and judgment cannot diminish resilience. It challenges viewers to look beyond assumptions and recognize the humanity and strength in those navigating challenging situations.
