“Censorship" is a four-layer relief woodcut print concerning the censorship of Palestine in the media. It aims to shed light on the atrocious genocide and how there is an enormous amount of censorship on the killing, displacement, and unlivable conditions the Palestinians are faced with.

"starbucksxmcds" When I created this piece I intended to show how modern streets are lacking in individuality. This repetition of the same mundane food creates frustration for the consumer who is left with very little consumer choice. It also shows how we don't give new ideas and different concepts a chance by encouraging the wealthy basics.When I reflect on this piece, we are surrounded by oligopolies that have skewed morals by having unfair labor practices and are complicit in genocide.
