You Know My face but not my name

"Venetta's pieces are a poignant reflection of her profound connection with the youth in our community. Each brushstroke tells a story of resilience and unseen depths, inspired by the struggles and triumphs of young souls who have faced adversity. Through her art, she immortalizes their emotions, echoing the unspoken narratives that linger behind the masks society often places upon them.

The essence of Venetta's series lies in the power of the bold line which can be seen in the  portraits. This  alludes to facial recognition technology and highlights how young individuals are constantly monitored in society without their stories being truly known and the nuanced understanding that no one knows what lies beneath the surface. Her art serves as a powerful reminder that young individuals are more than just a passing glance or a headline; they carry intricate tales waiting to be heard and acknowledged.

In a world quick to judge and condemn, Venetta's art stands as a beacon of empathy and understanding. It prompts us to look beyond prejudices and preconceptions, urging us to ask the questions that truly matter: What is the story behind each face? What experiences shape their journey?

Through her creative vision, Venetta invites us to pause, reflect, and empathize with the untold stories that define the youth in our society. It is a gentle nudge towards compassion and awareness, reminding us that every brushstroke, every line, holds a narrative worth exploring.

The Preservation of Language

The tapestry of human communication, shapes and symbols have played a pivotal role in the evolution of language. This series explores the fascinating world of shapes and symbols, unraveling their significance in both historical and modern contexts.

Historically, symbols have served as a foundational element in the development of written language. These early forms of symbolic communication laid the groundwork for the alphabets and scripts we use today, illustrating the enduring power of visual representation.

In the contemporary digital age, the significance of symbols has only grown. This modern usage echoes the ancient reliance on symbols for quick, efficient communication. Preserving the use of symbols is not just about honoring our past; it's about recognizing their ongoing relevance and potential to enhance our understanding of one another in an increasingly interconnected world.

As we continue to explore and innovate in language, the role of shapes and symbols will undoubtedly remain a cornerstone of human expression.
