Title: Untitled   

Artist: Rihanna Angel Melchor 

Medium: Drawing   

Artist Statement: I created this artwork for fun and everything else that happened with Trump deporting people and BadBunny performing and having inspiration to draw this for fun and having something silly on one of his songs: DtMF.  

Title: Fragments & America, Here’s My Boy  

Artist: Sarraa Al-Khalidey
Medium: Literature (Poetry)
Artist Statement:  I saw a Gazan hospital being blown up, the bloody coat of a doctor who was killed, and the camera of a journalist also covered in blood. The images were horrific. I'm frustrated by the injustices that my people have been subjected to, and I voice my anger through my art.

Title: Horror (Masked by) Serenity

Student drawing of a car 

Title: You Belong

Artist: Shirley Calderon Arriaga

Medium: Drawing 

Artist Statement: I sketched out the car and the people in it using a regular pencil and went over the outline of the sketch with a fine tip marker. I’ve had the same colored pencils from middle school that have never let me down which are ones you can find at a Walmart. The car I chose to draw is a vintage Volkswagen Beetle which is a car that I see often when I visit Mexico. Choosing that specific car was also because it is a game me and my family play where you would see a Beetle and pinch whoever is near you.  I chose to draw a car packed with people because it can be something that many Hispanic families relate to, having to make room for others so they can be included and to make do with what they have. Regardless, if there is no space, everyone will be involved and belong.
