In my art three women are rising above a world of pain and misery as they clutch at the fragile tendrils of hope. I was hoping that when people see my work they will understand the difficulties that women in other parts of the world face each day, and how they can come to rise above their struggles with a bit of help. I aimed to represent Peru. I did this by using the same style of bright fabrics with detailed patterns. I chose Peru because women there are constantly being denied basic rights, like abortions, which are illegal there. Nearly half of Peruvian women are abused by fathers, brothers, or husbands, and 44.5% of Peru's population live below the poverty line. I believe that our art can change the world, because if it can inspire just one person, that person can have the power and ability to speak up and make a difference.
