Where Is Your Heart?

I have never been interested in producing controversial art, and in the past, that is what I thought all social statements were. When I was assigned a project based on a social issue I am passionate about, it took a lot of thought and reflection to realize that I am most passionate about finding the good in people and that I feel the lost good of humanity is really the heart of every social issue. Every person, even the badest bad guy, has a heart somewhere inside and just might not being using it. I chose to draw a human heart, slightly darkened but vibrant, disconnected, and on a grey background to show the potential that we all have to choose wrong or to choose right.
