Artist's Statement: I was invited to a roundtable discussion, organized by the Arts Commission office and the Probation Department, with youth who were detained at the old Juvenile Hall. The artists were able to ask the youth questions about what they’d like the artwork for the new Juvenile Justice Center to look like. Among the answers that stuck out for me were that the youth wanted the artwork to represent “freedom.” When asked what symbolized freedom, a couple of youth said, “home… just being in your own house, and being able to do what you want.” Comments like these planted the seed for my artwork concept.
