Layering
Artist StatementThis is my layering project. The project depicts how in America we live in a bull ring decorated in blood and the ups and downs of Wall Street where the oppressed and the oppressors are constantly fighting. The bullhead and girl symbolize the two contrasting statues located in New York City's financial district. In this arena, the "Fearless Girl" has defeated the stock market and has revealed the lives it has destroyed in its pursuit of greed. The oppressed including those whose lives don't seem to matter, those aware of the effects of climate change, those who seek to love freely and openly, those persecuted for believing in Allah, and those who have been criminalized and "illegalized" all of whom have had their oppression monetized by Pepsi in their Kendall Jenner commercial are watching from the stadium. This project communicates the effect of greed, bigotry, and ignorance on the 99%.
