Anarchy Does Not Come From Power
Room Two: Hall of Mirrors
This room represents personal struggles with image I am faced with everyday. The mirrors have CURRENT newspaper articles pasted to them, which have representations of people of color or make reference to them. These often are the only contact mainstream society makes with minorities, especially in Orange County, Ca.
When I look into the mirror, I see someone completely different from whom the articles are representing. The mirrors have been cracked to reflect the struggle and pain associated with the identity crisis felt everyday, from trying to live with society telling itself who these people are and their personal constant struggle of searching for truth rather than lies and misrepresentations.
One mirror stands without text, yet it too is cracked. This is cracked from frustration of wanting to be recognized by a system that oppresses you.
