These individual works comment on social and political events in RDCongo, Mali, and the United States. The themes include (from top L to R) censorship of art and press (RDC), dangers of voting in the 2011 election (RDC), Kinshasa night life that caters to older men preying on young girls (RDC), the conflicts Malian youth face between traditional obligations and modern desires, a series of hangings across the US from May-July 2020, violence against women as a result of continued war in eastern Congo.

The power of art can break the shackles that bind and divide human beings.
