Entries must be original artworks that reflect the artists’ personal contemplation. For example: What is happening? Pandemic, protests? Unbelievable? Will things change? Is it frightening, confusing, corrupt, when will it end? What do you think? How does it make you feel? How do you interpret it? Paint it, sculpt it, create your passion.
