Indigenous people social justice and rights

My social awareness issue, as I mentioned before, is social injustices to indigenous tribes/people in South America, Pan American. Many of these people are not allowed to own property, or carry their cultural traditions. Most of them make a pittance, and others live in poverty. A lot of counsels are working towards making agreements with various governments to give the indigenous people of these countries rights they deserve.

I use in my work blending options such as exposure of light in certain areas and the subtraction of others. I also thought it would be great to use the colors and the textile patterns they use on their clothing, specifically red. Also, a big part of what defines them is mountains since they mostly reside there. Therefore, I use the image of Cotopaxi (Ecuador). I use lighter hues for the mountain and hands since it's a more peaceful portrayal.
