This painting is about our relationship with people experiencing homelessness. Society goes out of its way to not see them. Spending resources to not see them. To have their camps moved, etc. So we don't have to see them. It seems that those resources could be used to help them.

This painting is about how we often do not consider the freedom of everyone in our narrative of freedom. We leave people out. We don't make freedom inclusive. We do not consider everyone worthy of rights.
