A statement from Sophia:

"I started this piece when George Floyd was murdered. Why did it take the death of another unarmed black man at the hands of the police to start some reform? Silence is Violence. As an artist, we are called to action to reflect the world and our place in it. I was told I’m too white to be creating art right now and that this is not the time to be creating art. Well, I am bi-racial, (not trying to be a white savior), yet people still tell me what I am and am not, as if they know my lineage. I cannot be silent as a bi-racial artist and I choose to stand with humanity for the equality of all through my art. 

This is a cut down version of my piece I created with the same name that can be seen on my IGTV and YouTube. This is a canvas I created on video with this voice over over it. I encourage you to check out the art that goes along with it, which includes my Dying Lady Liberty costume, #BLM bloody American flag from protesting, multiple ethnicities of Madonna and Children, doves, the scales of justice, a Black Jesus, a dream catcher, and more. 

Thank you to my dear friend Candace Smith for making sure my writing was clear!"
