I stepped out of my comfort zone here, which was long overdue, and painted a skin color that is not my own! It’s time I gave others representation in my art instead of continuing to add to the western whitewashing normality.
I have been surrounding myself with the thought recently as my houseplants are producing babies and need caring for and it’s time to plant seedlings outdoors to provide us with crops later in the year. We play a huge part in how nature provides for us, we can handle it all with love and care together, in hopes of a brighter and plentiful future, OR we can continue to take and take and take until there is nothing left but a ruin of what we could have been. Which sounds more appealing in the long run?
We’re all in this together. Together is the only way we can change.
