Student Name: Oscar Joaquin School: Oswego East Grade: 12 Class: Pottery 1 UN Sustainable Development Goal: Reduce Inequalities Brief Artist Statement: "Internal Battle": The main concept of my piece is to give a voice to those who are struggling to find a voice in which they are heard from. This concept that everyone deserves the best for themselves and everyone’s wellbeing is important especially during these times. So it is important to stay connected to those you appreciate and make sure they are doing OK. As you never know what someone is actually going through behind closed doors. My Work represents the ones who are too scared or put in a position where they can't speak out about what they are going through and just have to keep pushing.
