I asked others on what it represent to them:
-To me, this piece represents the inner you coming out. Balloons and flowers are two different objects, so the fact that balloons get released when the flower "opens up" makes me think that maybe the flower wants to be something else, or is something else on the inside. -Mya Hyman
-To me, this piece inspires me to unleash my inner self, not act as something im not. The balloons make make me feel like living freely with out any doubts. - :Linzee Jones
-In my eyes this piece represents the releasing of the inner soul. Even though it's already beautiful it goes to show that there's more within. -Mia Hyman
-The artwork expresses a new beginning that there is more to the flower than you can see. That's why you see that the flower is unfolding and showing that it's layers are peeling away. This new adventure causes you to make you think about you internal self to help you peel away layers that people haven't seen and in the end you'll will be better in life. Everyday is always a new beginning!! -Aliyah G.

21st Century Slaves by Tyler Riney

21st Century Slaves

Acrylic

Use of acrylic spread through the whole piece use of mostly primary colors

Piece came from thoughts of how African-American's are still somewhat slaves in this century but yet African-American slave owners are there selves. As with the killing, robbing, raping, each other and the black on black crime that's yet still going on in the African-American world than loving each other as Brothers and Sisters. Yet people is still attempting to blame "The Man" or anyone than blaming themselves, not noticing it's are own kind doing the damage here still placing ourselves as slaves which is something we tried to disappear. Which you see the slave chains across this neck and wrist with urban clothing. While however with this it's showing the man that he still believe that OUR black culture will come together holding up the fist representing "Black Power". This piece has deep meanings to it, you take it as you receive it but this represent the blacks and how there still slaves just not without the chains and whips. Also this time it's not only "The Man" that's the owner but also "The African-Americans.
