Poverty - Agents of Change

The Skeleton's body is made of spoons and knives to represent hunger. The Skull is layered with fake cash to represent the lack of money and how it's constantly on one's mind. The rotting brain represents a lack of education/ job. The skeleton is laying on garbage to represent an insanitary environment and lack of shelter. The skeleton repressing one facing poverty is reaching high above where the social safety net and the rest of society is. Theres silhouettes of different types of people who are hanging for their lives on the social safety net. We wanted to capture that just about anyone living day by day can enter the pit of poverty. People living in poverty most often don't have a choice and need the help of everyone to eliminate this man made, in-just issue.
