Title
I won't let power keep me from liberation
Description
Pollution and exposure to hazardous environments are not natural--it's political. The top portion of this piece depicts symbols of industry and pollution: large oil barrels, interstate, and a pile of trash. These symbols also remind me of policy like SB 52, which tried to kill the Blue Line. There's a water faucet to speak on the lead in the water in my own neighborhood. Liberation is community-based and indigenous. It's a reminder that all exploitation, all oppression, is connected. Free Palestine, climate justice, equity, and liberation are local issues along with global.
