Red, brown and yellow represent inequality.

The use of red in this piece serves as a powerful representation of passion and urgency, reflecting the emotional weight of inequality that affects countless individuals. In contrast, the warm tones of yellow evoke feelings of hope and optimism, suggesting that change is possible despite the challenges faced. The brown undertones ground the composition, symbolizing the historical context of inequality and the deep-rooted issues that continue to shape our society.

"Inequality" is not just a painting; it is a call to action, urging viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of inequality and the role they play in addressing these issues.

“Color inequality is a form of discrimination that involves treating someone differently because of their skin color, complexion, shade, or tone. It can also include treating someone unfavorably because of personal characteristics associated with race, such as hair texture or facial features. Color discrimination can occur even when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are the same race or color.

Workplace inequality is when people with different backgrounds or characteristics are treated differently.

Inequality in society can have many negative consequences which include Economic growth,Social mobility, and mental health are just to name a few.”
