For this artwork, I wanted to communicate how mother nature is broken. I wanted the viewer to first see the front of the sculpture where all the flowers and leaves are placed, and the beauty of nature is shown, then I wanted to show the back and show the cracks that the body of mother nature has. These relate to social change because it shows how beautiful mother nature is and how it's broken.

Social Injustice, pencil, black marker and a gold marker on a white paper, w42 x h35 cm

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to utilize this artwork to bring attention to a worldwide issue, social inequality, and how women that work really hard for something may not be given enough recognition since men are paid more for easy things.
I picked a black and white theme since this is a rather gloomy subject that would not be depicted as well if colored in any other way.
This artwork is about social change because, as previously stated, I want to show people how women still have to battle since they are not treated fairly. Women who work hard should be paid similarly to men who work hard.
When people look at my artwork, I want them to view it as an issue; I want them to realize how it is still not acceptable for female workers who work harder than men yet men still get paid more.

Title of Artwork: Ripped.
Media: Acrylic on Paper and Yarn.
Measurements: 22.5cm x 30.5cm
Intentions: The purpose of this artwork is to represent how society and its standards can cause an individual to "rip" or break apart in different manners; such as physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We wanted to portray and make the viewer realize how toxic standards might get at times and the implications or effects not fitting them can cause to someone. The yarn is meant to represent the pressure and how each different standard manages to tear both women and men apart.

In this artwork I was trying to give two strong messages and motivate for action. Women's rights and anti racism signs were used in order to get the message easily. The two figures stepping on the signs are making references to  the racist and abusive/sexist society and the equal signs around it are the objective of the artwork, with them I am trying to motivate people to treat every gender and person equally and respect their rights. The canvas over the canvas was used in order to have a bigger contrast and to make the message be more powerful. Finally I tried to use a similar technique and copy the way Keith Haring draws figures, the figures stepping on the signs are inspired by his artworks.

Title of your artwork: Propaganda

Media: Acrylic on canvas

Measurements: 40x40 cm

Exhibition texts / Intentions: As a costa rican I experience a lot of fake propaganda from the government, trying to sell the country as this tropical paradise, while there are many social issues that are constantly ignored, such as sexism, poverty and corruption. I felt the need to express this through this artwork, showing how all the filth that my country has to deal with is always hidden and ignored under the propaganda of a ‘perfect’ country, with many natural beauties available for foreigners, especially Americans, to take advantage of it. I think that when we raise our voices, through different media, in this case art, we become more open to talk about the issues in our society and in this way start to change things.

Bye Bye Motherf*ckers- A Billionaire's Daydream

Media: Acrylic on canvas
Measurements: 40x30 cm
My Intention:
In this artwork, I intended to portray the way that billionaires often do not care for other people; draining the planet's natural goods while not taking accountability for it and preferring to save themselves and fly away.  I took inspiration from Keith Haring's work, that's why the drawing is very comic-like and uses bright colors.
This work was meant as a way to critique and acknowledge the unfairness present in our society; the amount of money billionaires hoard is an atrocity when you consider that some people don't have enough money to eat every day. The work was meant to spark a conversation about this injustice.

Title of Artwork: “Ripped”
Media: Acrylic on Paper- Yarn
Measurements: 22.5cm x 30.5cm

The yarn stands out in the painting and therefore represents the strength of the pressure society puts on both men and women. We want the viewer to realize the impacts that generalizations and expectations have on everyone and therefore make a change in their way of thinking and judging.

- Acrylic on canva. 30cm x 20cm

-Exhibition texts / Intentions: My main intention while creating the artwork was to communicate the "isolationist policy" atribbuted to society by the high charges.
I chose to utilize acrylic painting and canva. I took that decision because I'm not used to paint on that and with those materials, so I was really existed about the fact that we had to create our artwork as we wanted. I had the chance to practice!
If you look at the idea of Social Change of my artwork, what I intended to transmit was my complaint towards nowadays government, specially North Korean. I hope the audience can open their eyes and break the blindfold put on them by the government.

Title: "What's for news???"
Media: Acrilic on canvas
Size: 30x 20 cm

I wanted to communicate the terrible things that are happening in the modern world and how news channels are  spreading misinformation about it. Not only that, but nowadays many people just believe whatever is on the news and other forms of media, so by adding the whole 'getting back home after a long day of work' items and putting them in a table setting it's representing how people just eat the news up.  I made it using acrylic on canvas and it spreads awareness about misinformation and ignorance and that's what I hope the viewers see in this artwork.

Measurements: 39cm x 31 ½ cm

Materials: pencil on canvas, ruler and eraser.

Tittle: Deprived in the shadows

Intentions: Women from a young age are taught to be silent and follow multiple rules formed by patriarchal societies and biased antique opinions. They are shut down, aren't given the opportunity to properly express themselves or sustain their rights. As a part of the gender, I truly wanted to evoke the hopeless feeling of situations where people can’t pursue what is wanted because of identity. It is important to highlight that in order to convey this impression the artwork needed to be created in black and white so that the shadows would enforce the dark trapped circumstances. Additionally, being precise with real life proportions and lighting was relevant and achieved with the simple use of erasers and a ruler. Continuing, it is clear that this topic is truly apposite to the social change needed in the world, as inequality is one of the largest ethical issues that has to be supported concerning structure and improvement in society. Finally, it would be optimal for the viewer to understand all that is trying to be expressed and honestly feel connected to the powerful idea of breaking out of others perspectives.

The United Women of America, acrylic on canvas, 30cm x 60cm.

With this artwork, the main idea to communicate is a feminist version of a common 100-dollar bill. The reason why I chose acrylic on canvas to complete this artwork is that I assumed that my vision (texture and design) could be better expressed through this media. Additionally, the intentions of my artwork relate to the social change of gender equality due to the fact that the painting gives a feminist insight into how "masculine" dollar bills are. With it, I wish the viewer will see how a common concept such as bill designs don't show equality between both genders.

The impacts of pollution
Materials: Pencils, Markers, paint and paintbrushes.
Size:30x20
This artwork is a duology made with my sister Carolina with the purpose of communicating the reality and gravity pollution  has on our world. We chose to use the materials mentioned before since it is what we considered looked best on a canvas. Our goal with this diptic was to promote social change by showing what the world looks like nowadays; full of pollution and darkness, and how it would look like if we made an effort to stop this issue. I hope the viewer understands what we are trying to comunicate and hopeffuly realizes the importance of working together to raise awarness about pollution and its negative effects it currently has on our world.

- Collage w/Acrylic and Spray Paint on Canvas
- 20x30cm
- I wanted to communicate the absence of women in ancient/classic literature due to the lack of opportunities women had in creative writing. I was inspired by the essay "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf. I chose to use images of 18th century texts by famous male writers and a question mark in bold red spray paint to show my chosen artist's (Barbara Kruger) style. I hope this artwork inspires the viewer to stop and think of the what ifs and the advancements that could have been made in art if women had been given the same chances as men throughout history.

I started the painting process after my classmates told me that my artwork represented gender equality and gave me feedback regarding my idea.
