The series of photos I decided to use was pictures of coins. I decided to address my project on the socio political issue of homelessness. Homelessness is not guaranteed. People tend to believe that homelessness is connected with mental health and addiction issues. People don't choose to pursue their life on the streets. All things considered, homelessness results from a social framework which neglects to catch and support individuals who are in danger of homelessness. Key variables that leave people vulnerable and on the streets include; absence of adequate compensation, admittance to reasonable lodging and wellbeing supports and encounters of separation, and changes in the economy that can leave individuals incapable to pay their bills. Admittance to reasonable lodging is the most significant component; but segregation can hinder admittance to jobs, housing, equity, and supportive administrations.
Drawing inspiration from Richad Hutchins, Hutchins is an African American male who had passion for art at the age of six. Nonetheless, his profession was intruded on when Richard was shipped off to a Los Angeles area prison. He was subsequently seen as not at fault for the crime he was sentenced for and he was exonerated two years later. Being in a cell for 22 hours daily didn't prevent him from doing his work. Richard would compose letters to his friends, family and even former president Barack Obama. Once exonerated, he was working in an art studio until a fire burned all his paintings and left him homeless. He met Charlie Jabaley and he helped him get on his feet and start up his art career again.
The reason I used pictures of different coins is to express that a little help goes a long way. People are not homeless because they chose to. Family issues along with job and financial crises can drive people to the street. Using a quote from Bell Hooks, "It is difficult to talk when you feel no one is listening, when you feel as though a special jargon or narrative has been created that only the chosen can understand". Generally, diversity acquires more achievement, advances consideration and acknowledgment, draws in a greater crowd, and instructs us that everybody has the right to tell their story. Giving people a voice when they are down on their luck can change a person forever.
