The piece I made above was inspired by the artist, Barbara Kruger. Most of her work is composed of black-and-white photographs with declarative phrases on them, the words being in white font on a red rectangular background. Her work reflects cultural constructs of power, identity, and sexuality. As Kruger explains it, “pictures and words seem to become the rallying points for certain assumptions. There are assumptions of truth and falsity and I guess the narratives of falsity are called fictions. I replicate certain words and watch them stray from or coincide with the notions of fact and fiction” (from Wikipedia).
I have a huge passion for education, and I believe that given the opportunity, people can become someone better by gaining knowledge in a field and developing a career from their studies. However, as much as I believe that education is not only a tool, but also an opportunity to leave a worse life for a potentially better one (especially for low-income 1st generation students like me), I also believe that the current education system is lacking in resources for students to get a proper education and become true masters in their field of study. I believe that the education system could be better, but I think that some people (like those who share my background) don’t realize how much better it can be, and through our ignorance, we settle for the current situation. Unfortunately, I think that the people who run universities and the education system strive off that ignorance; as long as they think/see that we’re satisfied by giving us a diploma on graduation day, that is enough, they don’t have to improve the education model. However, I feel that we have to fix that method of thinking: that the end goal is not to get a diploma and be satisfied with that piece of paper, rather to become a true student of Knowledge and Wisdom and become satisfied with the contributions/products we make to help improve the way of life for all communities in this world (humans, animals, plants, etc.).
I made this piece to show the contradiction between us getting verification of our education because we receive a diploma to prove it, and the thought that there might be more than a diploma we can get from our education system.
