Student Name: Kylee Mulacek School: Oswego East Grade: 9 Class: Pottery 1 UN Sustainable Development Goal: Gender Equality Brief Artist Statement: The main idea behind my artwork is gender equality. The idea is important to me because women are constantly looked down to compared to men in the workplace and in everyday life. One fact that's important to my piece is that lockdowns are increasing the risk of violence against women. I want the audience to think of things women might face everyday and how they can make a change. The colors of my artwork represent both men and women and the equality that's needed between the two. The crossed out parts of my artwork are things that some women face everyday that need to change and the writing in pink represents everything that women are.
