Three Works by R.Drada

American Shooting Abstract

From R.Drada: These works all focus on my views and fears about the state of America today. “American Shooting Abstract” is focused on the number of shootings there are in America. I create these works in order to process my own shattering fear of gun violence, and those that support the furthered influx of guns in America.

 

Broken Blue Sky

These works deal with a sense of disillusionment in the idea that America is “the best.” They ask, how can a country believe it is strong when their children are shot in schools? 

 

Blue Sky, Red Altar
