Relation to Culture

• My previous piece was solely inspirited by Kathe Kollwitz. My next piece is a combination of William Kentridge and Kathe Kollwitz’ approach to their artwork. My themes and medium were similar to Kentridge and Kollwitz’s. Suffering. Pain. Fallacies. All represented using charcoal. Charcoal because its a result of ruin. It’s rough and is paralleled with the intention of my work. I have experienced living in both India and Kenya, and suffering is ubiquitous. The gap between the rich and the poor is progressively large. I hope to remind society that there are people living in those conditions. They often forget, or write it up to a little charity work. That’s not enough. We cannot just absolve our help, our obligation, to society with an act that has almost no impact on you.
