Indivisible: Carmelita De La Cruz

It's been a minute, but the Indivisible Project is still moving along!  I am pleased to present a moving work created by LA resident Carmelita De La Cruz.

This work is in memory and dedicated to Carmelita's late niece, Chona Sarte who was an avid defender of the environment, leading many projects for the California Environmental Protection agency and touched many people's lives, making a huge impact on them through her work and dedication. About Chona, Carmelita writes,"...my niece...volunteered internationally every summer during her college years on her own expenses. Sadly, she passed away this year of an undetected heart condition. She was a sustainable energy promoter, and she was appointed by Govenor Newsom as Deputy Director of External Affairs. Prior to this position, she worked as PR staff of the State Dept. of EPA. As you can see, I surely miss her and am so proud of her accomplishments during the short 32 yrs of her life."

I am happy to present square number 137, a work created by Fuji, a student in Professor Sharon Sekhon's Honor Class at California State University Fullerton:

Pen, marker on paper, 2018.

Act Up is "...a diverse, non-partisan group of individuals united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis."  Fuji's square is a wonderful take on the style of well known artist Keith Haring's work. Haring was an artist predominantly active in New York City during the 1980s.  He created pop art and graffitti-like work using graphic outlines of figures against blank backgrounds. Haring created many works in public with his drawings appearing in the NYC subways. His later work often addressed social and political themes, and towards the end of his life, he made work regarding homosexuality and AIDS. He died young due to AIDS-related complications.
