The essence of human achievement

“In the perspective of Carl Gustav Jung, the ultimate goals of human existence are embodied in faith, hope, love, and insight. He posited that these attributes are the result of a person's engagement with life and the wisdom gained through various experiences. Jung's assertion highlights the importance of experiential learning, indicating that the development of these virtues is a dynamic process shaped by the trials and triumphs one faces. Thus, the essence of human achievement lies not only in the attainment of these ideals but also in the transformative journey that leads to their realization.”

Life in Black and White through the lens of the artist captures abstract paintings using black and white paint on paper to resemble how society, community and world divides human beings based on race and excludes them from activities. If we want racism and discrimination to end, we must stop segregating and racial inequity. I have created several paintings using only black and white colors to express how I have been impacted by racial profiling. When I mix both colors together, they make the color gray.  "Black isn't a primary, secondary, or tertiary color. In fact, black isn't on the color wheel because it isn't considered a color. It's all colors. Or rather, the absorption of all colors. Black absorbs all light in the color spectrum." "White is clean, simple, and pure. It stands in stark opposition to black, and its meanings are unequivocal. As white light contains all the colors of the spectrum, it’s an inclusive, impartial color, favoring no single ...
