Savannah's Credit Card Protest

"Savannah's Credit Card Protest" is a compelling mixed-media collage that employs vibrant oil paints and figurative imagery to critique consumerism and economic disparity. The painting's surrealist influence is evident in its distorted figures and dream-like composition, echoing Expressionism techniques to evoke emotional intensity. Central to the work is a protest scene symbolizing the ongoing struggles for social justice, reminiscent of John Lewis's pivotal role in the civil rights movement—highlighting acts like the Selma marches. The layered collage elements emphasize the complexity of societal issues, making it a vivid commentary on contemporary activism.
