Nature is all around us and very beautiful. I want it to stay this way and not be destroyed. Sometimes we need to use our voice to protect it. I loke to show my voice by saving nature, helping take care of it and just seeing its beauty everyday, even the littlest ants and ladybugs to the biggest lions.

My art is about me using my voice to speak about elephants and people coexisting in present day. One side showing a now coexisting environment with plants trees and everything to do with the elephants habitat in the savanna which the other one shows humans coexisting with elephants. The difference from the no coexisting and the coexisting is in the coexisting side has a road, car and a powerlines. Humans and elephants are struggling to coexist. For example, elephants destroyed a man's crops in one night because the big animals just ran through his land. These animals are desperate for food and will break your window for it. These crops that are being harvested are in easy reach for these animals and people live off the money they make from the crops. So sometimes the elephant is wrong and sometimes the man is wrong.

This art is inspired by not to label someone because labels can shape expectations that are set for other people, creating stereotypes. These stereotypes can result in unrealistic expectations or expecting less from someone despite what they are capable of. For example, someone could expect a person who is Asian to be good at math, even if they aren't. Labels should only be on food and that should stay that way. Thats why I made this art, so I can share my opinion.

My art piece is about a girl who tries to be someone who she is not. She wants to be beautiful in every way so she finds ways to make her perfect. In the art piece I made there are flowers to represent that if every flower is beautiful that every person is beautiful. No one is perfect, everyone wants to look like this person but these people want to look like this person to me, this cycle goes on and on forever. I am using my voice to say that no one is perfect and that you're enough.

They are not
what you think
This art is inspired by the look that most pitbulls get when people look at them. As most of you know Pitbulls are known as viscious, scary and mean dogs, but as I see it they are caring, loving, and sweet. I have a pitbullat home that most people are scared around, but she is a loving dog. They have bad reputation for biting kids because of their original purpose to fight, but they are actually really good with kids. Sometimes they look like they want to fight you because they feel threatened, but isn't that a instinct that all animals should all have? Just because some pitbulls are mean doesn't mean that they all are. That's why I think you should not judge the look, and learn to get to know the character. I am using my voice to let people know that pitbulls are like any other dog.

you are not alone,
stand up and
use your voice
When I originally took this picture it was because I liked the way the plant looked. But when we put it in the computer, one part of it stood out among the other parts of the flowers. The succulent in the middle represents using your voice to stand up for yoursel and others. You can stand proud among others. You can be friends with others not like you.

I thought it would be fun to cut up different colors of peppers and put them together as one. I took a photography of these and it reminded me that we are all a pepper no matter what color we are...we are the same. We should use are voice to no single are self out but to treat all people with kindness because we are the same. Setting up this picture was not as easy as I thought it would be. Also, I needed to take the picture of the peppers with good lighting so the colors would pop.

Using my voice to spread the word about being Native American. Halito is how you say Hi in Choctaw. I took this photo because that is where my native tribe settled in Oklahoma. This picture was taken at Mountain Fork River in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. I am Choctaw Indian. The doll in this picture represents what I would have worn if I lived in 1816. This photo was taken before sunset where I used the golden hour time.

I took this photo of my dog to use my voice to show how some dog breeds are friendly. I used natural light to take this photo during the evening hours of golden light. My dogs looks mean on the outside, but on the inside she is sweet and kind. She loves to give kisses and shake hands. Sometimes we can use our voice through pictures to show exactly what we are talking about.
