This work is a collage of various iconography and includes several styles of painting including realism, duotone, and black and white. The painting conceptually examines the subtle deceptive nature of representation to confront stereotypes. The obscured tipi conceptually connects the ideas of imprisonment and representation. The figures within the painting characterize the idea of being trapped. The artist asks viewers “Can we ever really escape the stereotypes that are placed on us?”
