The Preamble
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 30x40
The Preamble painting depicts my interpretation of this historical document. When written, citizens who were native and others that would come to inhabit this country were not included in the thought process. And since then have been reminded that they were not included in securing the life liberty and pursuit of happiness afforded to their equal neighbors. Through this painting, I wanted to highlight some of the short-comings of the Preamble, while offering some solutions to certain issues not addressed in the original documents’ inception. Please note changes as they affect all citizens.
