In me there is a Rage

This series shows the inner rage and deep-seated emotions I see and feel in a typical day. One of the strongest statements best describing this feeling is the poem “Rage” by Alice Walker. “In me there is a rage to defy the order of the stars despite their pretty patterns.” The deep lust, the deep rage and the overall deep emotions defy the order of the stars. In these pieces I worked toward pulling out every bit of inner turmoil, rage and strength that create each of us. I draw from the symbols of strength, rage and humanity to create each of us and build the markings on our personalities and make us the people we are.
