How I came across the idea of my "Why" (which is revolution from oppression) is that I was listening to one of my favorite bands Muse, the album was called The Resistance. Why I'm so passionate about it is because the album's lyrics were so powerful and visual to me. Honestly, there's probably some research out there, but in my opinion the lyrics of Uprising, pretty much captures it all. My ideas I want to focus on within the theme are accidentally seeing a dark secret, exposing a dark secret (this will be the oppression side), uprising.
The two medians I would like to incorporate: drawing with the likes of graphite and charcoal; and painting. If possible, mixed media preferably.

Visual symbols in my artwork:
- Dove flying out of concrete tar - the dove symbolizes freedom and how its in the concrete tar means its suffocating in this control. But the fact that its trying to fly out means its flying for freedom.
- Close up on upraised fist - represents rebelling and united
- Secretary in maids outfit - representing the act of covering something up "cleaning up after someone's mess"
- Green money belts wrapped tightly around a head - Symbolizes greed in the mind
- Putting on a drama mask - symbolizes putting on a second face
- Red tape on mouths - symbolizes the truth being forced to be kept a secret
- A fat black cat in the background - symbolizes the "white collar rich men" rich with power.
