Ceramics, underglaze, acrylic paint, and nail polish 9 in x 11 in x 9 in
CAUSE: Bring back the pride crosswalks, St. Pete Pride
ARTIST STATEMENT: How unsafe can a rainbow be? I ask every time I cross Central and 25th in St. Pete—once a symbol of inclusion and pride, now just an ordinary, colorless intersection. That rainbow was the first thing in this town that made me feel seen—the reason I began to call St. Pete home a year ago. Then, its overnight erasure became a reminder that visibility is fragile, and that our joy can vanish without warning. This work is my way of speaking back—of insisting that color, safety, and pride belong here.
