Lockdown 2

A mixed media oil painting. At the top center is the image of a white sign with the bold black words “black lives matter” in capital letters. Underneath the sign are images of Black Americans that have had their lives taken by police brutality, and pictures of protestors from Black Lives Matter protests, some holding megaphones and illegible signs. A smaller “black lives matter'' sign in capital letters is in the bottom left corner. Layered over the images are strokes of red and white paint with a splotch of blue to the left, and white specks like an abstract American flag.

Four painted mandala-like patterned face masks, folded in half, and laid on a wooden table in a circle with the straps facing inward in a pile. Three of the patterns on the facemasks are triangular, and two are shaped like large circles with little triangles or rounded half circles surrounding the outside of the inner circle. The patterns have striped lines, zig-zags, polka-dots, and smaller triangle and leaf shapes repeated to create a pattern. The base of the facemasks are white with black lines and hints of red, yellow, dark green, lime green, and orange.

A yellow half-circle shape with a rectangular shape protruding out of the top to resemble a bruised bust sits on the upper half of the piece with a pendulum hanging down from the middle. The pendulum hangs from a painted mechanism inside a cutout oval shape in the yellow bust behind it. Behind the bust shape is a black sheet with golden hand-painted fishes clustered inside a black border.

A resin artwork. The work has a mostly teal and blue background, with gray and white stripes of resin and glitter for details. In the top center and bottom right corner are lines of resin and glitter that look similar to a geode. Silver butterflies are spread throughout the piece.

Two wooden boards with piles of glitter arranged on them. On the top board: white glitter is in a diagonal line from the top right to the bottom left and two piles of purple glitter are in the top left and bottom right corners. On the bottom board: white glitter creates an upside-down ‘v’ shape and two piles of purple glitter are in the top right and bottom left corners.

Two wooden boards with resin pour art and glitter. The boards are put together to create a cohesive piece. There is an upside down ‘y’ shape with a diagonal line going from the top right to bottom left and another line halfway down going to the bottom right. Three piles of purple glitter–in the top left, right, and bottom left–are surrounded by gold paint, creating a geode-like shape. Shades of purple and pink are poured throughout the piece, with thin gold lines bordering them.
