My Artist Statement

As a politics and law major, I see the world through systems of power, rights, and responsibility; as president of Art Club, I channel that understanding into political drawings that question, challenge, and inspire.
My art is a visual conversation about civil and human rights. Through line, shadow, and symbolism, I give form to struggles that are too often reduced to headlines. These images are born from real injustices, historical movements, and the ongoing fight for dignity. The rawness of hand-drawn sketches reminds the viewer of the personal cost of oppression, while more polished digital pieces reflect how institutional structures are sustained. My inspiration comes from landmark legal battles, grassroots activism, and my academic studies. I study the law to understand how rights are codified, and I draw because I believe art is one of the most powerful tools for social change. By merging my legal knowledge with my creative voice, I aim to create work that educates, empathizes, and energizes.
When people see my drawings, I hope they feel both the urgency and the weight of these issues. I want them to reflect on their own role in systems of justice and imagine a more equitable future. Ultimately, my art is a call to action: a reminder that rights are not abstract ideals, but lived realities that demand vigilance, empathy, and care
