I was inspired by the BLM protests and missing children milk cartons. I wanted to showcase a charcoal portrait that also had a meaning behind it, so on the other panels of the carton I included an actual milk carton front, "nutrition label" with ways to support the movement, and just some of the names affected by police brutality. In this piece I wanted to follow up on the relationship between voices and the media, so I created a megaphone filled with the names of stories of people who were given a voice in the media. The names coming out of the megaphone is layered so you can only see some of the names, I wanted to show how although large media corporations are good sources, they also only showcase certain stories and cover up the stories of others.
