In It's Full Extent

Scout Cartagena

The full title of this piece comes from the phrase “If you saw my pain, in its full extent, would you finally care?” This work seeks to expose the artist in raw form as they relive a past that isn’t always visible to society. It seeks to draw attention to those considered as the “THEM” versus the world’s “US”.
