    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Four abstract face images are in the painting with the golden hand signing. Each hand shows a sign &quot;negro&quot; (from upper left), &quot;nigger&quot; (upper right), &quot;colored&quot; (lower left) and &quot;black&quot;(lower right). The hands are in abstract form. It is similar to cubism work in the past. It is painted in four colors, gold, bronze, black and white.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The abstract work is a reflection of what is in people&#039;s mind (not facing the hard core truth). It has 4 abstract images from different period of time which were never portrayed in the field of deaf arts. In earliest day, we were called &quot;Negro&#039; as we were identified, based on our skin color and sold in slavery...as time goes by, we were called &quot;Nigger&quot; out of their despite and hate. As the years go by we were called colored as we were equal but separated....not long ago, we were called &quot;Black&quot; as the certain people with all the mixed emotions (positive and negative).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The weaving hair on the black deaf person&#039;s head shows the complexity of his/her<br />
culture. Above the head, that person is trying to go to the spiritual side to<br />
find him/herself. One side with sign Black  is rejecting that person&#039;s identity because he is deaf. The other side with sign deaf is rejecting that person&#039;s identity just because that person is black. Both has their hands out in front to prevent them from joining. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
