I Protest (2015)

The right to protest is not a universal right.

I Protest is an acknowledgement of the power of protest; it is intended to prompt the viewer to reflect on protests they may have participated in and to reflect on the changes that have resulted during their own lives. It is also a reminder that there are many causes that still need our support in order to ensure lasting change.

I Protest is intended as a gentle provocation to encourage the viewer to continue to stand up for their own rights and those of others. The reflective surface of the badges mirrors the viewer implicating them in the work.
