Drawing and Dwelling

As much of a right as it is to be living in a secure, stable and safe environment, only some are fortunate enough to do so. My drawing is meant to represent the instability and shunning of people experiencing homelessness. Faceless human figures wander in the background without sparing a glance to accentuate the bystander effect. The red umbrella is a placeholder for an unreliable shelter, a protector from the rain and failing its purpose. The wilted flowers are those who were once basking in the sun and valuable to the people. The bandages are half-baked attempts to cover society's mistakes.
