This is a piece I did after attending an event about Park51 in NYC. The entire night was incredibly captivating. It inspired me to do a piece for social justice. America is known as the melting pot, a nation built up of multiple cultures, that's what makes it so great! The Statue of Liberty was a landmark for all of the immigrants who came here in search of freedom and liberty, for human rights. However some people cannot look past race and assume that anyone who is not a white Christian, is not American. This piece represents the struggle that Muslims and people of different race have to go through for social justice and equality along with immigrants and the hypocrisy of what America represents. America or not, we all live on one planet, we are all human beings, everyone deserves the rights of liberty.
