Artist Statement
“Amplified Voice” is part of my series “Essays on Invisibility”. In this series, I interpret the effort of minority groups to remain, to take on opportunities offered by their surroundings, to become visible and therefore included in society. It is my goal to acknowledge the feelings of those of us who feel invisible, to uncover our pain through my prints, and to enlighten the spectator in a way so that they can open their heart to the possibilities which range from listening to our ideas, to working together, to raising each other into better positions that will allow for political, economic, and emotional stability in our communities.
