About:
BOOM. The government sent me a letter during the pandemic, apologizing for the illegal apprehension, and sent us a small amount of money for compensation. The elder once said: They gave us enough money to kill ourselves. In my reality, I turned this horrific situation into a PAINTING.
In the world of graffiti, characters play a pivotal role in adding flair and expression to pieces.
For me, it was only fitting to question this particular character and push forward with this depiction. Like, WTF IS GOING ON?! The original character was called Little Hiawatha from the 1937 animated short film Silly Symphonies produced by Walt Disney. The depiction in the cartoon is extremely upsetting.
The colour blue was chosen to represent the abrupt disassociation with culture, language, and family. The black and white letters spell the word apprehension and are the first colours we see as a baby. I was apprehended as a child and immediately started to question my world, seeing the fortunes of the land and people immediately appropriated for others' gain.
Thank you for witnessing, and to all those who support.
