Kyle Kathman
I created this piece after contacting my Senators in regards to supporting a ceasefire. Instead of listening to my concerns, I was given a contrived tirade on why I should instead support a tyrannical government. I felt so angry and pained for the state of the world. The fact that my words couldn’t make a difference against the faceless supporters of our government made me just want to scream. I feel like the government is the strongest cult-like entity in this world and I felt like I was being told to drink the Kool-Aid and support the awful things they are allowing. I felt so powerless against a cult that is unwilling to see other viewpoints or the concerns of those that don’t fall in line; the only way I could deal with this frustration was by letting it out through harsh colors on canvas.
