Rashad Malik Davis
Art Form(s):Artist Statement
Our differences are not only beautiful but necessary, and empathy is the theme weaving its way through all of my work. I seek to inspire children to appreciate and love diverse representation, whether of being or of thought. The arts are a means of giving this world meaning. They are a way of engaging with our surroundings, acting as either a mirror to reflect one's beauty or a window into a new world. Through my work I hope that children can do either of the two, learning to love themselves or to love someone else.
