Hope Is The Key
"Hope is the Key" is about corrupt institutions and ideals.
"Hope is the Key" is a reconstruction of the myths of the American Dream. The
idea occurred as a reflection of the fears and angers of each individual
student. The mural does not believe in a universal equality rather it
emphasizes differences in individual struggles against the system that
privileges a few. The image of the flag as a jail cell symbolizes rather than
endorses, how limiting our American society really can be to people outside
the mainstream. Each stripe is a representation of each student's
reconstruction:
(1) Censorship
(2) Health
(3) Homelessness
(4) Race
Relations
(5) Classism
(6) Sexism.
The myth of the American Dream adds to the
imprisonment and frustrations of those who are not privileged enough to
achieve it's allowances.
