I created this painting that showcases how small changes in our behavior can lead to social justice. The artwork features characters of different colors to illustrate the concept of racism and color differentiation. It's disheartening that some individuals create conflicts by not accepting people of different colors in their society, considering them inferior, which diminishes humanity among mankind. Instead, we should abolish these differences and perceive ourselves as one and equal in all aspects. This generates a sense of care, giving, and humanity in us, which ultimately helps us serve the poor with much kindness by keeping our different values aside or eliminating them. We need to consider the section of our society that struggles to have a proper meal every day. Even in such circumstances, poor people always have hope in their hearts that someone could come and do something for them. In the center of the painting, I tried to depict the hope of people through a blooming flower. It shows that even after so much depression and helplessness, one always has hope at one corner of their heart, which gives them the meaning to live life. Instead of discussing meaningless topics, we should focus on providing them with the necessities they require to bring about positive change and bring smiles to their faces. The children in the painting can be the agents of change, as it is not possible to change the minds of adults who have already formed stereotypes and learned biases during their upbringing. However, we can impart the concepts of humanity and equality to our children so that they do not judge themselves or others based on any criteria. This type of education can only be possible if it is taught to them both at home and at school.
