Ostracizism
The face on the left side of the canvas has the golden opened hand up showing that the person is stopped from entering the black culture. The face on the right side of the canvas has the bronze opened hand up showing that the person is banned from becoming a part of deaf culture because of its skin color.The person in the middle has its hand side by side as if he/she try to find his/her sense of belonging and not feel welcome. The painting is in gold, bronze and black. Its style is similar to cubism.

Once Upon A Time We Were Called....

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.
