<strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2023</strong> <strong>Visual</strong> Culture: REPRESENT!: <strong>Misapprehended</strong><br />

ERICA GUAJARDO<br />

You Can Have Em’..., 2022<br />

Prisma and Ink on Paper + Aerosol Background, 24” x 36” x 2”<br />

Healing the division of society by engaging in a discussion, rather<br />

than confrontation is a dream… Misconstrued assumptions and<br />

misapprehended ideas of what the other side of the conversation<br />

are usually concluded because of personal bias, fear, and mistrust<br />

because of past situations.<br />

“You Can Have Em…” talks about the past and the present.<br />

What happens when an old relationship is over, and the heart of<br />

the relationship is given to the next person? The ideal outcome<br />

would be peaceful, but many times, the person handing over the<br />

heart is placed in a position that you still want to live in that past<br />

life. Instead, all you want to do is say “You Can Have Em…” and<br />

walk away…<br />
