Initially, I decided to explore the theme of oppression throughout my various pieces of artwork. I have always been interested in art that challenges the viewers to discover a different perspective or meaning of the work and create a sense of importance, making them aware of global issues faced by society. With that said, I wanted to ensure my audience a challenging experience when viewing my artworks. Oppression, being the unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power, is a concern that can fall into many different categories. Because it falls under many categories, my audience is able to portray the work and relate it to themselves at a deeper level. However, if my audience can not relate to the work in any shape or form, the intent is to educate them on this oppressive society we live in and perhaps persuade them into making a positive change in their communities. 26
