the title is They see color not humanity and summary are these shifts toward a direct political lens, addressing systemic racism, white supremacy, and the ongoing structures that shape inequality and cultural oppression. It reflects on how power systems operate visually, socially, and historically and how awareness becomes a form of resistance. The layering within the composition reinforces the tension between imposed narratives and reclaimed identity.

Power doesn’t just rule through laws it rules through images. Through whom is centered and who is erased. Representation is never neutral; it shapes belief, and belief shapes reality.

Inequality is not random it is engineered. Policies, institutions, and economic systems were built within racial hierarchies, and their outcomes still reflect that foundation today.

When society defines you before you define yourself, identity becomes resistance. Reclaiming narrative, culture, and voice becomes an act of survival and of power.
