For this piece I used linoleum stamp carving to create a print. I tried to embody the concept of political fatigue. There is so much going on in the world at all times but especially right now after the election. When an individual is faced with daily dread or war, inequality, debt, climate change, queer or racial violence and many other social issues in their everyday life the feeling of being powerless can become unbearable. Even more so than dread or at least in my experience what it can cause is a feeling of helplessness that becomes a paralysis. I want to help the world and make it a better place but I feel so small and like no matter what I could possibly contribute it would never make an actual difference. It can feel like you are a spec of dust in a vacuum cleaner, like you have no control in the world and like your soul is yearning to do more than your body could ever accomplishÂ
