This Happened
This Happened. August 2021. This was a self-generated work illustrating what had happened to George Floyd. This picture was also judged a winning entry and printed in The Creative Quarterly 65. It is saddening that this happens more often than we think, and if it is recorded and horrific, then it makes national evening news. The questions like whether someone deserved this or not, what the circumstances were or not, whether it warranted or not, are always presented as a striving for something that appears fair and balanced. Long ago we stopped asking why this happens at all.
