"Oppressive Moralities" by Daniel Jerome Sept-Oct 2022 4000x5000.PNG Decades of oppression continue to play out in many forms all over the world And it is truly unfortunate to know with the many examples of righteousness throughout the years, the studies of human psyche available, let alone the ability to feel or understand how ourselves connect with others through experiences... I just can't seem to make sense of it all. Mahsa Amini was a daughter. A human. And names continue to pile as examples everywhere, protests break out, voices are screaming...being seen, but unheard or understood by the oppressors. Even as an outside observer, it is difficult to reflect on the unjust. But even in private, the personal unfolding is necessary. We continue to learn, we continue to teach... Freedom of others shouldn't be stripping away freedom from others. It's more than fairness, equality, scarves, or hair... There just should not be any harm being committed over such, unless purposeful & intentional harm is committed, than the obvious judgement will take place.. But Mahsa Amini became a victim of "morality" and even with numbers, oppression today is still very very alive. I try not to ramble because I myself am not perfect or feel confident enough when it comes to the knowing of things...so I always find myself afraid to speak, and just try my best to learn what I can to better my consciousness & widen my awareness if possible.. The piece was created in support for better human rights for Iranian women and around the world where humans are still oppressed. It's a shame and saddening when events like this take place, which tragically is everyday, even if it isn't on the media. I continue to hope for more peace and the best I could do at the moment with my time to layers, details, learning is to express through reflecting on it all. I wish for art to bring hope & emotion to send others in personal reflection..Even if it's just a glimpse of awareness on your social media feed to provoke a second of thought outside of your norm. I'm out of words for now. Research. Set examples for yourself when it comes to loving all. Practice empathy & feel compassion. I always say treat others how you'd like to be treated, like such an old teaching that's easy to understand..My social anxiety silences me, but I am always feeling the frustration with social unjust, and am frustrated myself. Expressing in this way helps me to cope in ways that allow me to grow in these circumstances. If you take in this piece. Please feel free to share to spread awareness on the issue or even those already involved. And I ask to please not sell on secondary as this is for free, and only meant to feel. For Mahsa Amini and the world just, but not just art '22 XTZ Collection
