Power - International digital exhibition catalog
In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />
A Prayer for Oneness” explores the disempowerment created through violence, neglect,<br />
and lies of the American government towards the American people and beyond. It aims<br />
to remind individuals of the power given to them by birthright, validate all of our anger<br />
and disgust at the authorities, and reignite the passion to fight back by letting people<br />
know they are not alone or wrong in feeling their rage, confusion, or sadness. I have<br />
always found connection, knowing one is not alone and valid in what they are feeling,<br />
is the greatest source of empowerment when nothing else seems to make sense or be<br />
helpful. So this is my prayer for whoever might agree.<br />
Artist Statement<br />
A Prayer for Oneness” is all about embracing Darkness as fully at The Light. So charcoal<br />
was used to write the piece in earnest yet aggressive type, messy and smudged in all<br />
directions. Paper was separately covered in charcoal, ripped, and glued to the piece in<br />
the negative space with my hands, using the blackened glue on my fingers to add more<br />
textural emotion. The integration of fluorescent matte yellow paint corresponds to the<br />
empowering nature of the piece, The Light.<br />
