prismacolor pencil, acrylic pen, on black construction paper; 9×10”
“Under the guidance of art teacher Steve Groh, students learned about the graffiti style artwork of Keith Haring, and created a drawing in a similar style using symbolic imagery to communicate a message based on a social issue.”
“Inspired by Keith Haring’s vibrant and bold style, my artwork explores the theme of misinformation in today’s digital age. The central figure features multiple “talking heads” emerging like nesting dolls, symbolizing how lies and disinformation fill our minds. These overlapping voices create confusion, making it hard to distinguish fact from fiction. My goal is to raise awareness about the impact of misinformation on society.”
