Reflection
Reflection

I am of Puerto-Rican descent; thus, I live my life with respective representation of my culture. I feel that through art, I have the ability to describe my feelings and thoughts on the pressing issues I see in our society. The process of creating brought feelings of concern and insight. It is necessary to recognize the equality of all races to completely eliminate climate change. We cannot expect to accomplish our goals, if we are too busy fighting against one another for trivial differences. Before we can complete our mission of a greater Earth, we must first be able to look towards one another with mutual companionship and camaraderie. We are weak and powerless, until we band together and set aside our cultural and physical differences for a better society.
