Abstract
  • This body of work challenges everyone who sees it to confront and question privilege, specifically their own, through the physical and metaphorical subject matter of my own privilege and struggle, in order to inspire empathy for change. We recognize that we cannot completely understand anyone other than ourselves. We have not lived the life of someone from a different background than us. We have only lived our own experience. Simultaneously, through the theory of intersectionality, we know that our stories are overlapping and interdependent. Therefore, to move forward together, we need a better understanding of that intersectionality. We cannot do that without acknowledging the privileges that we take for granted every day. We need to be able to acknowledge the differences in our experiences in order to broaden our minds to how our actions and histories have effected, are affecting, and will affect others. By gaining this understanding, we will be able to consider how to better treat and act around others. We can actively address the issues of inequality by adjusting our actions to model ones that will positively impact an interconnected story of humanity. This is how we create a more equitable and just society and move forward together. We should care because we do not live on this planet alone, we live together amongst other people whose feelings and experience matters equally to our own; in addition, to whom we are all in one way or another, dependent upon for collective triumph.
