I created this piece after some lively conversations with friends about whether or not “evil” people exist and how we should deal with harmful behavior. The conversation ranged from individual behavior to the actions of entire nations.
Ultimately we all agreed that everyone acts one way or another because of their upbringing and the upbringing of their ancestors. However, regardless of one’s past, no one should excuse harmful behavior and it’s up to everyone within a community to hold themselves and others accountable. In the small scale this means deep learning, listening to the most marginalized, tough conversations with loved ones, and reparations. On the larger scale it means the international community has to use their collective power to prevent nuclear wars, genocide and climate catastrophe.
I had a lot of fun with this piece and felt like a good stretch of my graphic design muscles 💪🏾
