Present day has become exceptionally hard to want to smile. The masks during the pandemic just enhance the separation of the ethnicities. Instead of me walking into a store, initially I was told I looked like a robber. When hatred is celebrated and shown and embraced within a civilized environment, it makes others feel small. When it is promoted by the highest figure, others fall in line. We resolved nothing and feel an open sore festering like a raisin in the Sun. That is why I created this exhibition — using my creativity as my shield. For one month I sat for an hour and focused on positive things. I learned that all joy is different, and that you can have joy in your heart while still not feeling total peace.
