'Wake Up'

Insecure 'Utopians' have completely overreached their idea of correcting systemic exclusion, and 'muddied the waters' by excluding majority groups (e.g., white men) by prioritizing identity over merit. This stems from a 'Utopians' personal insecurity and existential fear of been labeled a 'bad' person. It also fuels a compulsive need not just to be good (in their eyes), but to be seen as good by others. This can all lead to a masking of authoritarian tendencies under the guise of moral clarity, tribalism and cancel culture, free speech then becomes eroded. They have an obsession to be seen as 'good' rather than doing what is right. 

My 'Wake Up' art piece is a direct response to 'Wokeness' and how we as humans often 'overreach' in our endeavors to correct the 'woes' of the past.
