Emma González: #NeverAgain
-
Emma Gonzalez: age 18, oil and collage, 3 x 3 feet x 1 inch, oils and collage on canvas. 2020.
Emma González is an American activist for gun control. She survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. In response, she co-founded the gun control advocacy group Never Again MSD. The pallet and design of this painting is intended to create a sense of calm. Hands and homes weave together to create both a sense of protection and disconnection. Dreamy clouds push together to create a soft and sacred space for those youth who perished on Valentine's Day in 2018.
