Disclosure: If you are easily upset by words regarding the current climate of this country, do not put sound on. If you want to listen to the accompanying words , SOUND ON. If you put sound on, I will explain the piece. This is controversial art; not made to please everyone. We all have a right to our opinions and our voice. And I am using my voice via my art. This is “found object” art and not all images are mine.
